August T-Bird event update—Hosted by Chuck and Julie Birch birchjj@comcast.net
We have a few changes from the last newsletter.
Chuck checked out Windy Ridge and he said “that unless you want to do an alignment on your car and go to the chiropractor after this trip, we should find something else to do! The road does not work for our nice cars!”
We will meet at the Maple Valley Safeway parking lot by Papa John’s at 9:30 AM leaving at 10:00 AM. There’s a McDonalds and a Starbucks close for a last minute coffee and bathroom. The Solid Axle Corvette Club has been invited to join us for this event.
We have a nice drive planned with lunch at a rest stop 5 miles outside of Packwood with clean restrooms and nice shaded picnic tables. Please let us know if you plan to attend, so we can have plenty of sandwiches and water
.
We are planning on going to the Cowlitz County Museum instead of Windy Ridge prior to checking into the hotel.

Hotel reservations have been extended through August 3rd, on the 4th our rooms will be released. Please make your reservations today. Comfort Inn, Kelso, 360-425-4600. Ask for room block under Olympic Thunderbird Club for special rate $129.00 plus tax. Your choices are a single queen or two double queens at this rate. We have 2 handicap rooms reserved, also. This is a 2 story complex with no elevator, so if you cannot do stairs, ask for a ground floor. We stayed here about 10 years ago as a club and the hotel has changed and has been nicely updated.
Dinner will be at Fiesta Bonita Mexican Grill and Cantina at about 5:30. It is next to the hotel.
Sunday morning after our included breakfast at the hotel we will head up to Mt. St. Helens to the Johnston Ridge Observatory.
Gifford Pinchot National Forest - Johnston Ridge Observatory (usda.gov) Our tour will end after that stop and we will make our way home.
We hope you can Join us for this event. Please respond below, if you are going.
