PWD After-Tour July 29th - August 1st 2007

[Mark Shaw]

The BCA PWD After-Tour will depart the BCA National Meet in Bellevue Washington on Sunday morning July 29th 2007 and head for Anacortes Washington. (Please use this link to see Anacortes) http://www.anacortes.org/video/chambervideo.mov

The first annual PWD After-Tour was a great success and we expect several more prewar cars to be touring with us through the San Juan Islands & some of the most scenic parts of the Pacific Northwest. I expect that many will want to extend their stay after this tour. (Just cut and paste the registration form to a word document to print it out.)

Mark, wow! Your tour route looks like incredible fun!

Will you have all of this information in the Bugle for other pre-war Buick owners to see? This looks like a great way to build interest and participation in the Pre-War Division. Thanks for your effort on this.

Now, I need to go buy a great pre-war Buick so I can join you. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Perhaps you should be looking for a back seat? Consider this an incentive to tell other Prewar Buick owners about the PWD AfterTour.

I don't mean to honk our own horns, but this tour is shaping up to be a really great one. I have toured this area twice before with the HCCA. This AfterTour will include the best of what I have seen before as well as several new stops that Jack Gerskemper and Gene Lander added to make this tour a spectacular Northwest experience!

(Maybe I do want to honk some horns), Don't miss it!

It sounds like you and Jack have a great tour planned. Hopefully you will also have a tour after the 2008 meet as I am already committed to the BDE after tour this year. If you need any help on the 2008 , please let me know as your "hub tour" planning fits into my schedule next year perfectly.

[Mark Shaw]

I believe our regional director Brian Heil will be coordinating the 2008 PWD AfterTour. You might drop him a line and offer to help him.

Thanks,

Please note that some sources apparently had an incorrect phone number for the Cap Sante Inn - the correct phone number should be 1-800-852-0846. The correct form (without checking verifying against Mark's original post) is:

We currently have 12 cars and 25 participants for this tour, & we have been busy making final preparations:

I have been upgrading the trouble trailer for the tour with new tires, paint (it really needed refreshing),recharged winch battery and lubed all the bearings.

I have also been working on our final version of the tour booklets with some last minute changes to enhance the scenic routes; while Jack confirmed our reservations at restraunts, parks, & tours included in our four day event. Jack will assemble the booklets next week & we will be ready to go.
