Day 1 Vancouver to Portland

After meeting at Shaky's around noon, packed the 3 cars (this year we are renting a new Betty from Bellingham) we headed to the border.


Craig passed through in 3 mins with his Nexus, whilst the other guys preceded to sit for 2 and half hours (Mike) 2 hours 40 (Tom) and 3 hours (Shaky & JP).

[JP - for many 'fans' out there this is not a spelling mistake - JD, or Junior has recently acquired a new job, and unfortunately was unable to come on the tour - so his buddy JP Reimer has stepped into the fold. He is just as big, just as talented, but we are still deciding if he is as good looking!!]

Introducing JP REIMER!!!!!!!!!!!!


We made our way to ditch the cars...



....and go and pick up the band van. 

Introducing......Delilah - this year's band van



Shaky seemed especialy excited about the prospect of going a whole tour without breaking down.


Pounded straight through to Portland, arriving at 10pm, checked into our 5 (minus 2) star hotel

ditched the bags and then went for some grub at McMenamins on Broadway.
