3rd Annual Duluth Trip, October 13th-14th (NWS)

damn that sucks

 

justin put me in a room +1. thanks:biggrin:

 

I try not to be a handraiser but this time I have to. Lately my mind has not been on MNSubaru and has been home shopping, home improvement training, and finalizing a home purchase for over a month now. I'll also be taking a midterm exam that week so it'll be very difficult for me to attend the Duluth trip and juggle my life at the same time.

 

No can do... got things going on with family the weekend you kids are going up. Yall kids go have fun, I just got back from Duluth this past weekend. Went up to Grand Marais for the weekend in an RV FTW!

 

Hand Raisers Ban!

 

maybe this has been covered and if so, sorry. Are there any quality gas stations in duluth? like shell v-power or bp anywhere?

 

We have BP

 

it's all 91 in town.


and I'll try to have a better idea of where the BPs are, so we can make a planned stop sometime.

 

I think that station up by skyline drive (where we scared teh neon away) is a shell. otherwise there was that bp down in sup.

why dont we just stop at the last one before town, then you should have enough gas till we are out of town the following morning.

 

Well depending on how much beer I drink... I should have enough gas for everyone! Oh and it's potent, better get tuned for this stuff:biggrin:

 

There is race gas here, and I know where it is now. It's not too far from sam's club where you guys went for booze last year.

 

superior has TONS of 93 non-oxy available.

are there are single girls going on this trip? lol.....I dont want to go alone :-/

 

I doubt any single ladies will be coming. At least not without one of the guys bringing them... Meh, we'll find our own up there! I've been on a hot streak lately

 

Get some torco this year then

single ladies???????:laugh: This is a subaru group ride, it'll be nerds galore. On another note, I may bring 1 or 2 depending on if I decide to buy them tons of booze, which will be good for us in teh long run anyways .

 

sorry no, you fail, also you are not gods gift to women, even if you were you would be failing him every day because you like dudes

 

Haha


I tried to bring 2 females along. But they skipped because I guess it's homecoming in St. Cloud that weekend:roll: Oh well, I didn't want to listen to the whining anyways... Slow down! My panties are wet!!:biggrin::laugh:

 

Hey i wanna roll with you guys on this trip. I got a few friends up in duluth so i wont need a hotel room or anything.

 

haha, that's not what the last girl i dated said :yumyum:, i'll give you the number and you can call her :laugh:.

 

Beth and I are getting excited for this. We are just hoping there are no white dakotas on the way.

 

nope, just bring her along!

 

homecoming... sounds like the farmer rang the bell and the heifers had to go home


well with you if it breaths it gets humped huh?!?!? ha ha a and I can see now everyone holding their breath when you are around and not because of the GAS you have promised

 

Haha no they aren't bad looking. If they were, I wouldn't bring'em!

 

You guys better be ready to drink lots of Jagger

 

she's not a car person. That's why we broke up. She said I'm too materialistic and like my car too much. I guess the final straw was when i gave that priority over her :biggrin:.

But, on the other hand she is a drunk ass and likes to get wasted and make out with random people, so she possibly would go.

 

So. any more detailed info on the time-frame for this? there's a car show and 1/8 mile time trails going on in town during the day that day. info here. the car show goes from 10am-6pm, and I would really like to enter my car in the show. maybe meet there?

Saturday afternoon? I'm thinking Park Point, then running much of Skyline Dr. might be fun. not the greatest driving roads, but awesome scenery. and more than a few sweet twisties :run:. and then you guys have pretty easy access to the freeway/hotel.

Saturday evening? Grizzly's again? I thought that worked very well....but anyone have other preferences/ideas? I'm willing to make phone calls/reservations again.

Sunday? interest in running up to the pit in 2 harbors? rather do something else? rather sleep off the hangover and then drive home?



I was thinking about putting together a little map/directions/itinerary this year. so we don't have to worry so much about getting lost/waiting for people stuck at traffic lights.

 

Hmmm getting closer now!

The hardest decision i have to make now is which Subaru to drive. Hers? Or Mine?

 

Highway 210 Through jay cooke is THE ****! If we can't fit it into our cruising, you guys should hit it up on the way into or out of town. On a side note, I'm in a mad scramble to get the Legacy 2.2GT-T on the road in time...it's gonna be a close one.

 

duhhh, yours, now expecially

 

Yea truth! Now i need my injectors and tunnnnnning

 

Yep me too? should i take mine, hers or ours? the ours is more mine anyways!

 

Well its either my Tourqey rough around the edges 01 OR Her 02' Comfortable but slower WRX...

 

is this the road that runs along side 35? this sounds like a sweet road to hit on the way up there. can you show it to me on a google map?

i think it would be really fun to hit up the drags on sunday...sounds like any of us could show our cars and/or compete in the drags if we wanted to. saturday i think will be the usual get up to duluth around noon, meet at chux's house, eat some fast food, hit up skyline, hit up park point, check in to hotel, go to grizzlies, back to hotel to parte. it would be great if you could write up a little map for us since you are a local duluth guru

 

Justin...FYI....
UPDATE 9/27/07 The entire stretch of Highway 210 through the park is now open to all traffic. The construction crew will work on finishing up the detail work such as leveling shoulders and placing signs. Due to this, there may be occasional delays. The entire project should be completed by the end of next week. We appreciate our visitors patience during this construction project.

and yes, the road starts about 20 miles south of Duluth, goes through Jay Cooke, then drops you into Gary New Duluth. It's a good road, but I would hesitate to have 30+ subarus go through there unless everyone can maintain self control and the speed limit. too much traffic on the weekends due to the fall color change.

I used to live up there and now the back roads north of Duluth very well. If you have any questions PM me.

 

hmmm...well i'm still game for it. how far off 35 is it?

 

Looks like I have to work the weekend, I wont be in Duluth until 3pm and im dumping sunday

 

Is it the road we took last year out of duluth on our way home?

 

that car event could be intersting. but i for one wouldnt be in to show my car, and well they requier track experience. granted i bet we could all bluff our way in but we will still need some helmets. its just an 1/8th mile track? i would rather party in the pit, or hit up th willow river trails.

maybe in place of the park point photo shoot, we should go to the pit, and snap some shots of the group by superior (not on the beach), leaving all sunday open to show off, the newly dirtied, subarus. just a thought.

 

yea, but you have to be there before 9:45am to enter the show. and entering the time trials is $50....for 1/8 mile.

 

^$50!!! forget that.

I also highly doubt many people will be in the mood to enter their cars at 9:45 am on sunday.

 

i dont plan on being awake at 9:45

 

i will be up but not in good enought shape to race

You exit 35 north on 210 and head towards carlton. Once in carlton you drop into Jay Cooke state park. You'll end up at Fond Du Lac, then take 23 thru Gary New Duluth to Duluth. Here's a map of some of the route. May be an extra 1/2 hour to the trip
