Wave Hi in PNW

Colorado Yeti · Posted: Thu Jul 24, 2014 8:31 pm Post subject: Wave Hi in PNW

We are leaving for our 2-1/2 week / 4000 mile roadtrip in Chewey to the PNW next Tuesday. We are starting in Port Ludlow, WA, / Seattle then camping on a commune in Orcas island for a couple of nights. One night at Kalaloch in the Olympic NP then down to Astoria / Lincoln City / Newport for a few days on the beach. A couple of nights in Portland then back to Colorado. I personally think the highlight of the trip will be Rock Springs, Wyoming. If you see Chewey on the road / in the campground, be sure to stop for a friendly chat & a cup of coffee / beer depending upon the time of the day.

Sounds like a fun trip! What does it take to get those Fuchs on? I have a set waiting to be bored out..I assume spacers to get the offset adjusted? I dig the colored centers too!

As a Wyomingite, I hope that you have a better trip than that.

Although, if you are there...go here - http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/324/1326822/restaurant/Wyoming/Bonsai-Rock-Springs

We stop whenever we find ourselves in RS.

- Will definitely try the Thai restuarant in Rawlins....thanks for the tip! Be a good stop between Fort Fun & Salt Lick.
- A sushi resuarant in Rock Springs, Wyoming? Sacrilege. Will have to stop there on the way back....thanks!
- Here a link to the Audi Fuch wheels writeup that I posted. I absolutely love the wheels and am really glad that I was lucky enough to find them. Yes, I run spacers, I think 14mm. I bought all extraneous hardware from Christopher Shimke. His expertise & advice was invaluable.

- Fog lamps in the grille were wicked cheap & easy. Hacksaw & Krylon....my two favorite tools. Here's a link.

- Yep, commune is just past the State Park. Gonna get my freak on.....in moderation. If you see a wookie running around with no clothes on at 2am, it's me. Just don't tell my wife.

That's going to be a great trip! and we are actually having summer weather out here. Van looks great, is that Merian brown? I will notice you instantly, since I have not seen any other brown vans beside mine.
