Once we are back on the Freeway (I-82) after the Canyon Road section (the Yakima river road) we will get off again at Exit 34 which puts us on SR 24. We'll take 24 E through Moxee City and continue on through Black Rock Valley to the intersection of SR 24 and SR 240. At SR 240 we'll head S.E. Into Richland.
Just another example of our continuing efforts to limit the number of Freeway miles we will have to endure. Regretably there is not much we can do about it on Day 2 because we have a lot of real estate to cover, but the Blue Mountain terrain is very pretty even from the four lane.
Because some drivers are, shall we say, a little more agressive with the foot feed, (Fred) it may be difficult for the group to stay together. As we mentioned in the flyer, we need to break into groups of 3 or 4 cars that will stay together no matter what. We can all stay together if we want, but those groups will stay with each other through gas and pottie stops etc. etc. So be thinking about who you may want to run with.
We will all try to stop at the same place for lunch ('cuz it's cool to wow the locals with the assembled snakes) I will try to stay in the lead, but I won't be hurt if one of you wants to take "point". We all know where we are going each day and I will have directions to the motels printed to hand out at the start.
As I have said, I don't want to get in the way of the fun, so once we are underway you are free to do your own thing if you want, but you know how much fun it is to arrive as a group.
One week and counting, YEEEEHA!
