In an effort to know who's on the road and when they're arriving during the week, please post your estimated departure from home and estimated arrival at WCBF. Update this topic when you actually leave!
(This way we know who's on the road at any given time, and I have an idea when to make sure someone is around to meet/greet)

Leaving home on Sunday. 80 minute Ferry ride to Vancouver Island, ($70). 3 hour drive to Victoria for the night to visit with my son Victor. Was going to leave on Saturday but the weather is not cooperating.
Leave Victoria Monday morning. 90 minute Ferry ride to Port Angeles, ($90). 5 hour drive to Portland.
Leave Hillsboro Tuesday. 2 hour drive to Corvallis. Hope to be there early afternoon, depending if convoying with LVMatt. He's not sure he can get the time off work yet.
Should take 2 full tanks of fuel, $180.
6.6L with a quadrajet will do that. Drinks like I do.

We are planning around 9pm (trying not to hit much traffic). Is there is a lot of construction work on I-5 South of Portland?

No construction that I KNOW of, check Oregon's ODOT page. Trip Check feature.
Rounds are checking into their hotel just down the street, they'll be here in 30 minutes.
Paul got to Matt's in Hillsboro, still not juicing the secondaries on the 'bird. We're brainstorming a parts list and plan to pull the carb. I speak quadrajet, and I'm not the only one here for the meet that does.

I hope you meant 9AM so you're here before dinner.
Up at the crack of dawn......sharing one bathroom with all the vag's is a challenge! First time I can remember a teenager getting the bathroom before me. They have it down to an art.
Sprinkles of moisture on the Bird but the clouds are thin. Hopefully by the time we get to Corvallis, it will be left behind.
Carb gaskets should be in by 7:30am. We will be devouring PudFukkers animal burgs around noon and should be checking in to KOA and Hotel by 2ish.
Anyone traveling over the Washington to Oregon Columbia should detour around I-205 because they are planning an I-5 bridge closure at noon.

Boise Caravan is 50 miles or less from the Dalles. Trans Am's are slow like grandma cars, and is slowing them down!

Matt, Hiro and I will be getting on the road in about 50 minutes. Dreary weather here with wet roads but not raining; should be a decent drive. Looking forward to seeing everyone and making more awesome memories! I'll text you Bill when we are in town but we will first go to the KOA and check-in there. Cheers!
