I'm moving to Seattle... driving there, to be specific.

It'll take about two days to get there, but I might be without net access until then.

As I'm the only one who can do something about bad registrations, I'm shutting down registration until I return... don't want any certain people *cough* showing up unexpectedly.

Well, he had made it safely as far as southwest Oregon on Thursday night. I expect he made it to Seattle on Friday. However, he apparently has no phone line yet, so even as of last (Saturday) night, his condition was not yet known.

Posted by Charles Capps (Member # 9) on :

Correct, I'm here but I have NO phone... I'm at a Kinkos currently. Phone goes in tomorrow, if GTE holds up their word. Ya, right. Sure.

Seattle to Spokane is what, 6 hours? Hardly close proximity. And besides, *heavy sarcasm* who'd want to drive it in 6 hours when one can take 8 and see all the varied sights along the I-90 as it transverses the Evergreen State, like the glitzy strip of Moses Lake and the waving fields of Ellensburg?

Fascinating. The I-90 travels by two great lakes, past my beautiful home in Batavia, as well as near the Great Lakes and Erie Canal(a testament to Western Civilization). That's in New York State, for those who didn't know it.

Posted by LOA (Member # 49) on :

6 hours? How do you figure?!?! Last time i drove there, I made it in 4.5 hours and that's WITH 5 rest stops along the way *grin* 4.5 hours is NOTHING.... going to Seattle is no more than a day trip to me... especially when it's for the cause of Old Navy *listens to the angels sing down from Heaven* They always do that when I mention Old Navy...

Hrmmm... you're right (of course), it's more like 4 hours.

Using US 95, the I-90 and the I-5 I'm ten hours from the Tsawassen ferry terminal in Vancouver, BC. I think I worked backwards assuming Seattle was 10 hours. >

Posted by The_Tom (Member # 38) on :

You're about to watch a Canadian lecture an American on American geography (or at least highwayology):

Jeff: Interstate 95 would be the road you're referring to. I'm talking about the highway running N/S down the middle of Idaho then to parts beyond. Odd Interstates start on the West Coast and proceed upwards in number until one gets to the East coast; Federal highways are the opposite, with the low odds running up and down the East coast and the high odds running up and down the west. The evens are similarly inverted, with the lowest-numbered Interstates running east-west across the south and the higher numbers in the north and the fed highways the opposite.
