Any of you guys in the NW know how good 6 is from Tillamook to 26 is
for travel in the spring?
We're planning on a trip across that area after GMCWS, Auburn.

Hwy 6 from Tillamook to Hwy 26 at Banks is normally no problem at all in
the spring.
Last week there was a bit of snow, but it went away pretty quick. IIRC
the summit is only about 2000 feet. By the end of May, no problem, as
long as your wipers work, and your roof may leak a little. It is the
Northwest, after all.

For info: As you head out 26 from Portland and just before you get to the US 6/ US 26 junction, you pass just north of me and just south of Ron.

Welcome to the Great NorthWET. Laughing

thanks Mike,
While I don't care much for wet, my guitars love it and we are
determined to see some of that country together, even if it is while
the wipers are on.

Steve,
Every Friday nite up in Garabaldi they play. Will be 15-20 locals gather at the city hall @ 7 pm. Teri and I go when we are in Tilamook. You will love it. Tell them I sent you.
Some of the musicians are really good and then there are a few like me, just a foot stomper.
Dan

WE? Is there a conspiracy going on here?
The GMC has been to two rallys so far this year.
The beaver has a propane generator, probably injection of some kind,
dunno, never looked. Never had to except for an oil & filter change.
If I was headed your way, you coulda, just by lucky happenstance, had
a set of clean control arms ready for remanufacturing. I work for
beer and food. (Real beer, only food with cholesterol in it/)

One more time.....Did you check the length of those inner sleeves yet?.

AWWWW MANNNNNNN

wonder if I could follow you till I find you??

just my luck, well, spend a lot of time getting to ORGN, who knows.

It is on my list, but now I am just trying to get it on the road,

I may have to leave the hard stuff for ORGN.

do you want me to go measure? or do I have to put them in ;>)

Gene,
Just hold them up against the urethane bushings as see if the bushing
and inner sleeve are the same length. The incorrect ones are at least
a half inch longer than the bushings. No measuring needed.
