Caravan for PJ Shows: Portland--->Spokane--->Seattle

RKCNDY

Anybody interested?

We can help each other out if need be, some are making the drive for the first time, and I would hate for someone to get stuck and not have anybody around to help them.

I have an app on my phone called Waze (on Apple and Android-yay!), it gives you real time traffic updates and notifications of road hazards reported by other users. It allows you to see other users on the map in your general location, it has a 'map chat' function-so you can chat with other people, and you can create a 'group' and see how far away other people in your group are.

Here is more info on the app: https://www.waze.com/

So far nothing ***official***, just seeing if there is enough interest to organize something. You don't have to be driving the entire route, even if you just want to join in for a part of the trip.

This is what we have so far:

I will be checking this site to see which route I will take: http://www.tripcheck.com
Thinking about leaving PDX around 8 or 9am-ish

sweet idea, lisa

i know there's a few people looking for rides....i'll start directing them this way

South of Seattle

I probably can't help with the Caravan as far as rides go. But I can download and update Waze. That would be cool.

anotherclone

Fun! We'd be interested in a caravan. We'll have several in a minivan. I also have Waze so score!!

Up Here In My Tree

What a great idea!

I got a crew in a similar situation but we're a little more disjointed and hitting different shows/events.

We have Portland on Friday, then one of our crew is heading to Spokane, we all meet up in Seattle for Monday Night Football before we head to the Vancouver show and return for the Seattle show.

Have a freaking blast, maybe we'll see you along the way!!

I may be able to squeeze you in our vehicle...deciding on which one to take. 4WD gas guzzler or the 4 cylinder gas sipper.

not quite sure, depends on how hard I party in Portland on Friday I guess 8 or 9am-ish. i just read this: http://blog.oregonlive.com/commuting/20 ... he_ho.html

Have you driven I-84 in the winter Mr Horos? Please share your experience!

That drive can be...how you say "the shits".

My hubby has done that drive multiple times though as he went to WSU and his family was in Vancouver WA. He feels that we're early enough in the season that it shouldn't be too bad. Of course, he's not a weather man, just a guy with an opinion. And he's wrong a lot.

vedderfan10

I am also looking for a ride Portland-Spokane-Seattle...might even have a spare GA for Spokane...will pay my share of gas bill...and I'm happy this time around!! Please count me in!

RKCNDY

bump...anybody else interested?

apparently, someone likes to make plans without telling me, so I won't be going back to Seattle until Monday.

Kathi

we might be up for it pdx - spokane, we'll be going to calgary after that.
hoping to leave quite early in the morning since we're GA for spokane, we were saying 7 am, but it'll depend on the evening before of course.

I'll ask the US people in our car to download the app - I won't have data access unless there's wifi, but I assume they can get the app on their phones. sounds like a good plan.

Ewank

Hey, Can I join you guys?? I am doing Portland-Spokane and Seattle I am a really cool guy and would like to share ride

I should be able to help. Driving from PDX to Spokane, then back to PDX the day after Spokane. We're heading to Seattle from PDX in the middle of the following week. Not sure how much room I'll have, but should know soon. Have been talking to both Jenny & Jason abt a caravan.

Damn you Matt taking his side.

We're doing Oakland, Portland, Spokane, Seattle but don't have any more room in the mini cooper. But maybe we can caravan.

Hi Everyone!

I am coming from Australia for the shows and would love to get a lift in the caravan/car if there is room?

I'd need a lift from Portland to Spokane... I have booked the Greyhound from Spokane after the show to head to Seattle, but I am sure the lift option would be much nicer!

Please let me know what you decide as I will book a flight soon if this doesn't work...

Thanks muchly!
