  Join me for a May flowers drive as we explore some interesting back roads in the north end of the Puget Sound. 

  This is a fun 50-plus 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 horses.  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 across from the Monroe Chevron on Highway 2 at the east end of Monroe in the Monroe Plaza shopping center.   Driver’s meeting will be at 9:45 for a 10 a.m. commencement of activities.

  Meet at:

  Monroe Plaza 19829 US 2, Monroe WA

  And end up at:

  Rhodes River Ranch
  22016 Entsminger Rd
  Arlington, WA 98223
  (360) 474-8313

  This will be about a two-hour drive with one 20 minute rest stop somewhere in the middle of the drive.    
  After lunch, we are taking a short drive to the Oso Slide Memorial for those who would like to join us  

  Directions from I-5:

  Take the highway 2 exit east in Everett.  About 40 miles from the exit.

  Highway 522:   

  Drive north on Highway 522 to the end in Monroe and take Highway 2 east.

  It’s time again to mark your calendars to attend the annual Gathering of Miatas. As in past years, we have scheduled the cabana at Griot’s Garage in Tacoma for our event this year.

  If you have never been to Griot’s in Tacoma, then you are missing out! It’s a great place to stock up on your car polishing supplies.

Additionally, they sponsor a one-hour tech program where they explain the use of the car maintenance supplies they sell and why they are such good products. Their address is: 3333 S. 38th St, Tacoma. You can check out their website at www.griotsgarage.com

  We’ll start off at 10 a.m. with the “Drive-In” to Griot’s and to give you an hour to spiff up your car. Then the Tech Program begins at 11 a.m. followed by lunch, which will be provided by your PSMC Board of Directors. Please RSVP so we can have a head count for the food order.

  When arriving at the Gathering, please park in the following areas on the grass:

  NA - South Side nearest Griot's Building

  NB - North Side farthest away from Griot's

  NC - West Side nearest the trees

  ND - East Side nearest the street

  
  

  Following lunch, you can view the Miatas and vote for the People’s Choice winners. 

  Please bring something to sit on just like you would bring to a picnic! (i.e.: a folding chair or blanket). There is a large grassy area surrounding the bbq pits for this purpose.

  Pacific Beach Explore Drive & Overnighter
  

  Saturday & Sunday, September 13th & 14th, 2025

  Back after growing demand, Cindy and Tom are hosting once again their Pacific Beach Explore Drive & Overnighter. This popular event will take us on a lovely curvy road through the back woods of the Mason and Grays Harbor Counties.  Once we hit Aberdeen we will deviate and take the road leading to West Port Winery.  The winery charges $10 for 5 tastes, which is pretty much the going rate these days.  The winery has recently opened up a restaurant where you can enjoy lunch.  After the winery  tour/tasting, we will make the trip back to Aberdeen for food, gas, spirits and other staples.  We will then depart and make our way out to Pacific Beach, passing bays and ultimately to follow the coast for a bit (keep your cameras at the ready!).   Our overnight facility will be the Navy recreation facility which has rooms ranging in price from $95 - $168/night (no tax!).  You are responsible for your own room and will need to reserve your room with a credit card. I will be sponsoring the group’s entry onto this military facility since I am retired Coast Guard.  The Navy facility has a deli type restaurant, a full bar, bowling lanes, gourmet coffee bar and a gift shop. There are several other food venues in the surrounding area.  The beach is wonderful to walk and this will be in the middle of the kite flying season!  Or, you can visit the thriving metropolis of Pacific Beach! (a bit of tongue & cheek here). You may even want to purchase your own kite at the kite shop in Pacific Beach and participate in the fun!  After an afternoon on the beach and taking in all the joy of typically pristine September weather, we will sit back, sip some wines and slip into some easy times.  Following dinner, which is on your own at the Navy resort restaurant, we will assemble at our place which will be a house for some after-action reports on our experiences.  Our ride will begin at Little Creek Casino, West State Route 108, Shelton, WA 98584, with a short driver’s meeting starting at 10:15 a.m. on Saturday.  Lodging will be at the Pacific Beach Resort & Conference Center.  As of now we have several rooms blocked for this event, including standard rooms and presidential suites, ranging in price between $95 and $168 per night (no tax!).  Their website is:  http://www.navylifepnw.com/site/68/Pacific-Beach.aspx.   You will need to reserve your room using either a Visa or MasterCard.  If your plans change, you have until two weeks prior to the event to cancel without a charge.  The direct phone number for Pacific Beach Resort & Conference Center is:  (360)276-4414 (front desk, not reservations!).  When you call, you need to reference the Puget Sound Miata Club and/or Tom Millar.  The early bird gets the worm on this one…book early!  By the way, on Sunday we will max our check out time and plan on a leisurely drive back to civilization.

  If you encounter any difficulties with making your reservations at Pacific Beach, please feel free to call or text Tom Millar at (425)623-8181 or e-mail:  tmillar100451@gmail.com.

  Hurricane Ridge Run 

  
  

  Date:  September 27, 2025   Free Day at the National Park

  Meetup at 8:30am

  Location:  Safeway, 8196 WA-104, Kingston, WA

  
  

  Back by popular demand! This is a beautiful drive that starts at Safeway in Kingston, WA.  Meetup will be 8:30am followed by the drivers' meeting at 9:00am . The drive begins at 9:15am. and we'll travel to one area including some twisty roads to our ultimate destination, Hurricane Ridge.  Hurricane Ridge is located in the northern half of the Olympic National Park and is the heart of day use activity.  The seventeen-mile long Hurricane Ridge Road starts at Port Angeles along the Puget Sound and snakes its way up the side of the Olympic Mountains to 5,240 feet.  With the road sanded and paved by the National Park Service, Hurricane Ridge is a source of year round outdoor adventure. 

  For the first five miles, the road climbs from 400 feet above sea level to just under 2,000 feet at the Heart O The Hills Ranger Station, the only overnight facility at Hurricane Ridge. Over the next twelve miles as you climb up the narrow road and through three different tunnels, the plant life around you goes through a gradual change. Western red cedar, big leaf maples, grand firs, Pacific yew and sword ferns give way to sub-alpine forest and wild flowers. The road passes by a number of scenic overlooks with the Double Parking Overlook, located about two miles past the third tunnel, being the best.  
  

  After our fun time there, we will be on our way back to have lunch in Port Angeles at Joshua's Restaurant.  Please bring your hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, camera, coat, binoculars, and boots if you are walking on the snow.  This is a free day to enter the Olympic National Park.

  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 10:00AM commencement of activities.

  Monroe Plaza

  Monroe, WA 98272

  And end up at:

  Rhodes River Ranch

  22016 Entsminger Rd

  Arlington, WA 98223

  (360) 474-8313

  This will be about a two-hour drive with one rest stop for the weary.

  DIRECTIONS FROM I-5:

  Take Highway 2 exit east in Everett.  About 40 miles from the exit.

  HIGHWAY 522:   

  Drive north on Highway 522 to the end in Monroe and take Highway 2 east.

  HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
