Join us for what has become an annual event over the past several years—the More Smiles to the Mile (MSTTM) tour or as we're calling it this year, the Spring Kickoff Tour!! Everyone has always enjoyed this tour and this year, we’re again going to explore a few new roads along with some of the old standards that make this tour “more smiles to the mile”. This year, the starting point is going back to Krispy Kreme in Issaquah with hopes that the parking will be adequate early in the morning.. From there, we will take a familiar route down the twisty Issaquah-Fall City Road to Fall City and then head north with a couple excursions off Hwy 203 with a couple new routes. The rest stop is in Duvall and NOT in Snohomish for the first time in memory on this tour. From there we also take a different route for this tour, but will end up in Monroe at Tuscano’s Italian Kitchen where you can order off a special menu they prepared for us. The food is great, the restaurant always offers us prompt, friendly service and they love having us visit them. This is also one of the few places able to handle larger numbers of people so we won’t be scattered over three or four smaller restaurants. Think social event!! Hope you can join us. This tour will fill up fast if past years are any indication!
For this Kickoff Tour, priority will be given to new member, first time PNWR tour attendees from March 30 through April 7th. Indicate whether this will be your first PNWR tour on the MSR registration form.
Note IF (I say again IF, we end up using two cells of cars, then indicate whether you prefer early or later cell on the MSR registration (note that there is only a 30 min difference in the show times).
