WestRider Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I have a big pile of stuff I need to get down to Pretre, enough that it's gonna be pricey to ship. I'm on Bainbridge Island, and can relatively easily get it to Coleman Dock/1st & Marion-ish in Seattle. Anyone taking a trip like that soon, with a fair amount of room in the car? Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hey Pete, We're heading south in a few weeks... How much stuff you talking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I can meet up anywhere in the Portland area, once you're down here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Portland Cider House or Portland Cider Tap Room? Or Heavy Metal Brewing since we're both in WA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a couple of full-size Armies with plenty of Vehicles. There's one of the old double-size GW cases, and I'd guess around three times that much volume in cardboard boxes. Somewhere around 6 cubic feet or so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where all that is, but whatever's halfway between us. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hmm... wonder if Becky's Hundai Accent can fit that or not... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romans832 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 That's what I fear... but that's why I'm asking so I can or cannot commit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 See if you can find some way to check that beforehand. It would kind of suck to have to haul that pile over to Seattle only to find that I had to haul it right back again ;) Also, if anyone else is going sooner, I'd be down with that as well. Part of the goal here is to clear stuff out of my apartment, and I'd like to get that part in particular accomplished as soon as feasible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Absolutely, if someone else can do it comfortably please do. I'm just a Tacoma gent trying to help Westy here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Oh, yeah, not trying to push you off or anything. Just don't want people thinking it's already locked in if they're doing a run themself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Alternatively, if anyone's going to Longview or somewhere in between I could make that work as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Too bad my sister is still in Montana. She used to go from Seattle to Longview pretty regularly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Got it somewhat repacked, down to one box plus the case. A bit less than I expected, right about 4.5 cubic feet. The case at 24x18x6 and a box at 18x18x16 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romans832 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Yes, we can still do this. I need Pete to meet me Thursday evening or Fri morning in Tacoma... or figure something out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 That's gonna be kind of iffy. This is a lot to bring down on the bus. Not impossible, probably, but difficult. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Is there no ferry to Tacoma? :( Where would you need me to meet you in Seattle? You buying the cider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I think there might be a ferry route that ends up in Tacoma, but the other end of it is even less accessible to me. In Seattle, downtown, ideally more or less somewhere between Alaskan Way and 1st Ave, and between Colombia and Madison St. I will totally buy a few rounds if you roll up that way. Fado is right on the corner of 1st and Columbia, and as best I can tell, they've got 8 ciders currently available, between taps and bottles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romans832 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 What's Ferry times on Thursday after 7pm? (If not I'll have to go w/out Becky) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 There's one every 45 minutes or so until like 9:30 I think, and then they're every hour and a half-ish. Evening is totally doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
