I wont be making the trip to Whistler this year, however I will meet up with the group in Lynnwood, WA for the ride up to Ferndale.

So add one more Cobra to the list for at least part of the trip

Plus, Rick Miller up in Ferndale will most likely join us at the Pilot station in his Cobra (he lives in Ferndale) so we could have quite a group at the gas station!

I have been a member of this group for a couple months now, but became an official NW Club Cobra family member this weekend: bought a beautiful ERA Cobra this last Friday from a gentlemen I met through this forum. Purchase has been in the works for a few months now, couldn't be happier - and I think the seller is happy that his Cobra went to a good home.

I unfortunately can't make the trip to Whistler; however, I can potentially make the trip from Lynnwood up to Ferndale. Would love to see the other cars, and meet some fellow NW Cobra owners. May I ask for some details on the Lynnwood, WA meeting place and time - and location in Ferndale everyone is headed to? I'll see if I can make it.

Congrats Brian on the new baby!

That's awesome on the new car Brian! I will get times and locations listed here in the coming weeks. Tentative will be Lakewood start, Lynnewood, then Ferndale Pilot. Then proceed to Whistler.

I have updated the original post on page one of this thread with the start time of 8:30 am from the Lakewood park and ride. Then meeting at the McDonald's exit 181 from North I-5, Then Ferndale Pilot station exit 262 for fuel and rehab. Then north to Whistler with a possible bathroom stop in Squamish BC.

Hey Jake:
Thanks for taking the lead on this again.
We'll just be back from a month in France thus travel budget is shot, so we won't be overnighting.
But, as always, looking forward to the drive up and seeing the gang.

Jake · #29 (**permalink**) 03-01-2017, 07:31 PM

It is my pleasure. Looking forward to catching up.

That may be a possibility. I will call Scott M. He booked two rooms and only needs one. You may luck out 😉.

We tried this the last time and it didn't work out very well. We could not find the meet location. Tough to keep an exact time schedule when traveling with such a large group. I can post when we are clear the border crossing and you guys could time it from there? I am open to other thoughts.

Jake:
I'd like to propose for consideration a small tweak in the route to the border from the Pilot station in Ferndale. Last time it was up I-5 to the truck crossing, then through traffic to Hwy 1.
Instead of getting back on I-5, we would turn left out of the lot onto Main St. Head due east about 3-4 miles and follow the road to 'Guide Meridian' Route 539. Turn left on Guide Meridian and Head north through Lynden to the Lynden/Aldergrove border crossing. Take 13 north to the TransCanada Hwy 1. There's only two signals from the Pilot station to the border.
-Its a shorter run from the US border to Canada Hwy 1 with only two signals, so it will be easier to keep the group bunched together, less traffic and less time to Hwy 1;
- its rural through berry farms from the Pilot station to the border, usually less traffic
- Lynden/Aldergrove has less cars going through it and a lot of parking area to collect the cars
- more scenic than up I-5 to the truck crossing.
- I think it will take less time to get to Hwy 1 and might shorten the overall drive time.
I go this way to BC all the time. Might be worth considering.

I'm good with that Bob.

Thanks, Jake
