Heather & Mike will be there. We have made the last few Run of the River trips & would not miss it!

Ok, it seems I have another trip on my mind "run of the river". Heather & I will be at the "Run to the Sun" as well. I read it before I sent it & still did't catch it.

Mike,

Are you planning a Run to the River?? Like the River along the old road to Yakima from Ellensburg??

PS- I am pulled a half-shaft last night. Found a problem while prepping for our April trip to Lake Havasu.

Sounds like another good year of fun! We have to get all the pictures from last year posted two!

Dale, the "run of the river" is a B&B in Leavenworth - I was making anniversary planes for September. We have stayed there a few times - but have not been back for 5 years or so.
We are wanting to do a couple other Cobra runs this year - we will see what comes up. We just have to shake this last week of winter & hopefully get on to a nice spring.

Dale,

Great work pulling all this together, thank you. Although the lodge is closed until April 18th I was successful in reserving the Mt. Gardner room this morning and will be looking forward to the event and meeting up again with the old and new Club Cobra riders.

They mentioned that parking was only outdoors and we did not have a reserved place to park, so I'll be sure to turn down sensitivity of the car-alarm motion sensors, and have my car cover and hope the tie downs work better this time that when I was at SML for my anniversary a couple years ago and I got up and found my cover on the car next to me.

Cheers!
Kevin and Dianne

Mike,
If you do a run to Leavenworth, be sure and give us plenty of

Dale McBain · #10 (**permalink**) 04-07-2012, 07:07 PM

Let's try this again.
Mike,
If you are planning a run to Leavenworth, give us plenty of warning we would like to put it on our schedule.

I need to know who wants a shirt to commerate this years run. As usual we need to know the size (men's or women's) and quantity. You have to trust me on the color and the design. The color will most likely be yellow this year.

Dale, Tetelle and I have booked the Lodge and plan to go. Please include an XL shirt for me only. Thanks for setting this up!

Blue Cobra · #13 (**permalink**) 04-13-2012, 09:38 AM

Dale,

If it turns out to be any color other than yellow, sign me up for at least one mens in Large. Unfortunately I don't do yellow shirts. Left them behind with my Don Johnson look-a-like "Miami Vice" salmon colored silk blazer in the 80's.

Now my snake riding co-pilot Dianne may want a yellow shirt, will these just be mens cut shirts or are you thinking about a women's cut shirt as well?

Thanks in Advance Dale for your efforts putting all this together for us.

Regards,
BC Kevin

I had to hold off committing on this due to some medical issues, but I got my test results back yesterday, and I'm good to go.

We will be making our reservations sometime over the weekend and I'm really looking forward to this since we have missed the last two years.

I will also send you a PM later today or tomorrow with our shirt information.

And as always, thanks Dale for organizing this.

WardL · #15 (**permalink**) 04-15-2012, 07:49 PM

Dale, If you see Jeff (of Jeff and Diana White), could you ask them to bring their pictures from the last two years? We should all bring our pictures and share..... thx!

Dale, Susan and I will see you there.

Karen's older brother in Houston has had some issues the past couple years and they just diagnosed him with Picks Disease. It's advancing rapidly, so Karen and her mother will be flying down there that week, so I'm going to have to pass again.

If the weather is nice, I may try to make a day trip over there on Saturday.

Blue Cobra · #18 (**permalink**) 05-03-2012, 11:12 AM

Wishing the best for your family and Karens brother.

The shirt is not going to be a just a shirt this year. It will be a pull over micro fiber wind shirt. Details to follow. It is going to have a picture of a Cobra (as in the car), with inscription "Power Corrupts" or "To Much Power is Never Enough". Should have color and style details this evening.

The commerative shirt this year is going to be a Micro Fiber Windshirt, with teflon. To see the shirt go to "www.ashcity.com". In the upper right hand corner of their web page in the advanced search box type in "88044". You will be able to see the shirt. It will have a genuine McBain inspired graphic on the left breast. Cost complete including shipping will be no more than $45.00 each.

Please note the sizing chart, and confirm size and quantity.

We need a response by Tuesday of next week since I must place the order on Wednesday to avoid paying air freight.

Best Regards to All,
