UPDATE!!
Hey everyone,
Ok, here's the itinerary for the October 5th drive to Leavenworth.
Meet up at the usual place, the Alki boat launch at 8:30'sh for a meet/greet.
Depart Alki boat launch at 9:15 to arrive at Leavenworth at around 11:30 via US-2 east.
Personal time on Leavenworth for 2 to 3 hours, then back home via US-2.
Alternative route home is via US-97 south to I-90, back over Snoqualmie Pass then home. US-97 is supposed to be a great drive. This is the way I will be going back.
Hope for good weather and bring family/friends/camera as it is Octoberfest in Leavenworth, so it should be a fun day.
Show up at the boat launch all gassed up and ready to go.
look for an email from me and please reply
