Join me for a great, colorful drive as we explore some interesting back roads in the north end of the Puget Sound and, hopefully see some beautiful autumn leaves. 

A somewhat different route than the "Drive To Lunch" with the same destination, this is a leisurely meandering 50-mile drive along scenic back roads to lunch at the famous Rhodes River Ranch, located just outside of Oso, WA. It is on the second floor of a horse arena, with a glass wall for a view of the horse venue.There is no special event scheduled for this day, but people can be observed working their horses from time to time.    

The lunch menu is quite extensive and is moderately priced.There are gluten-free items on request.

From here, everyone can make their way home through Arlington to Highway 9, and from there, connect to I-5 if desired. Of course one can always trace the route in reverse, or get lost on the maze of parallel roads on return.   

We will meet up at 9:30 AM in the Monroe Plaza parking lot across from the Monroe Chevron on Highway 2 at the east end of Monroe. Driver’s meeting will be at 9:45 for a 10 a.m. commencement of activities.
