Tour Announcement – Mountain Loop 10th Anniversary (10-25-08)
Help us celebrate our 10th Anniversary of exploring Northwest backroads and a new outlook for the next ten years. That’s right, Backroad Drivers Northwest is celebrating a decade of announcing, driving and reporting on backroad driving throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho and beyond.
Join us in Everett, Washington and follow in the tire tracks of our very first tour ten years ago including the Mountain Loop Highway. Lunch and an informal celebration will be held in Darrington and our route from there will depend on vehicle capabilities. Most roads will be paved, but there will be a few miles of gravel. High ground clearance will not be necessary so bring what you have.
Details to follow, but mark the date on your calendar NOW!
