Weekend at Ocean Shores This will be a weekend drive to Ocean Shores, staying at the Shilo inn in Ocean Shores, that will begin on Friday and run through Sunday. Mount Hood Miata club will once again join us. We had a great time with them last year. This will be a great way to get to know your fellow Miata enthusiasts from the Mt. Hood club. We will begin the drive at the West Olympia Safeway (food, coffee and gas available here). We will have a short drivers meeting at 8:15, then head out at 8:30, so that we can make our lunch time meeting with the Mt. Hood club in Raymond. We will head south for a rest stop at the Shell station at the intersection of Hwy. 12 and Anderson Road SW. Then on through the town of Adna, south on the backroads to Pe Ell making a rest stop at the Willapa Hills trailhead in Pe Ell. From Pe Ell we head to Raymond for lunch. We will take a lunch break in Raymond. We will stop at the Northwest Carriage Museum parking area, my plan is to let everyone pick their own spot for lunch, then meet back at the parking area a little before 1:00 PM, then head to the parking area in Raymond where we will meet up with the Mt. Hood club. From Raymond we head to Westport for a rest stop and then continue from Westport to the Ocean Shores Shilo Inn. We should be in Ocean Shores around 3:30 or 4 PM. There are numerous restaurants available in Ocean Shores for your dining pleasure, there is also a restaurant at the hotel. Depending on the size of our group, we may be able to dine together or dine as you wish. Saturday will be yours to explore the area. The Razor Clam festival is held on this weekend, that has numerous events or I am planning to lead a drive north along the coast to Ruby Beach for any who would like to join. We may be stopping at a couple of state parks, so you may want to have a Discover pass, some times the ranger will check for one, sometimes not. We should be able to make a 15 minute rest stop without one, so it will be up to you if you want to get one. Shilo Inn is setting aside a block of rooms for us at $109.00 a night Our rooms at this rate will be on floors two and three this year, however, if you would like a room on the 4th floor you can have one for an additional $20.00. They can guarantee these rooms and rate for us until February 22nd If you are considering joining us for this drive I would recommend that you make a hotel reservation prior to the 22nd of February! If for any reason you can not make the drive, you may cancel the reservation at no charge if done at least 24 hours prior to March 15th You can still make a reservation after the 22nd of February but it may not be at the group rate or in the same area of the hotel. All rooms at this hotel have a view towards the ocean The number for the hotel is (360) 289-4600 Be sure to call the hotel when making a reservation and not the Shilo reservation line. When calling for a reservation be sure to tell them it is for Club Miata Northwest to receive our rate. The hotel address is Shilo Inn 707 Ocean Shores Blvd. Ocean Shores, Wa.
