HEADS UP: wait at the border this morning at 8am was 90mins
I'm guessing tomorrow might be longer since its a weekend.

Heads Up - Part 2
Now you see why that some "flight planning" is necessary even on road trips.
Anyone check the weather reports (on both sides....Vancouver/Richmond as well as Seattle) yet?
Weather Forecast - Vancouver: Vancouver, British Columbia - 7 Day Forecast - Environment Canada
Weather Forecast - Seattle: Seattle, WA (98104) Weather - Forecasts, Radar Maps, Video, and News
Looks like we have fair weather in our favor for tomorrow!
Wake up early and shine! See you over the other side guys.

Suggestion
Been thinking about it and would like to toss a suggestion since we are driving all the way down to Everett. We can all meet much earlier (9:15AM @ Chevron) and do a leisurely drive through Chuckanut Drive on our way to the meet.
Here's some information for you to read:
Chuckanut Drive
Chuckanut Drive - Chuckanut Manor & Oyster Bar Information - Larrabee State Park
Chuckanut Drive
Washington State Tourism Chuckanut Drive
If you are interested, let me know. I guarantee you this will make the trip down much more worthwhile.

Doesn't really matter Scorpmatt...border traffic during weekends are brutal. Am now moving up my departure. 
Going for breakfast after crossing the border.
I might even do the Chuckanut Drive on the way down to kill time.
Maybe breakfast at La Conner.

Guiness: Yeah no problem. It'll be easier that way to meet at the Chevron station over at truck x-ing anyway.
Fitster: U gonna head down to the gas station yourself or u gonna meet up with me somewhere in Rmd? Pls call or SMS me if u are planning to meet up with me in Rmd, tks!

Chevron Gas Station
Let's clarify that because there are 2 Chevron stations in Blaine; one at Peace Portal Drive (that's the one by the Peace Arch Crossing as you cross to the US side) and another at "H" Street near Cost Cutters supermarket after the Truck Crossing (straight down the road and LH turn on "H" Street).
So by Spoonek4's post....hope it is now clear that it will be the Chevron station on "H" Street.

well, I'm home now. Dropped by the park on the way back from Renton. Got there around 4:50pm, not a single Fit in the lot. So I guess you guys had left by then. Oh well, hope you had fun.
