BimmerFest is almost here! :)
I don't usually read this board, but wanted to mention that The Seattle7s and Seattle5s plan to leave on Friday the 25th and drive to Calgary in one day. (657 miles, 12h 11m according to MapQuest.) We will meet at a Starbucks north of the I-5/I-405 junction next to WalMart at about 5:30 AM. Gas and coffee, then be on the road at 6:00 AM.
Starbucks - 164th Street Crossing
1330 164th St SW

Exit 183 from northbound I-5, one block to the east of the freeway. Shell and Arco gas stations are in the same block.
We are thinking we will be in Salmon Arm, BC. around lunch time. (308 miles, 6h 18m according to MapQuest.) We would love to meet up with some coming from the Vancouver area!
