May Meeting

[Workaholic]

So, what would you all like to see for May's meeting? I've got the possibility of a club road trip to a certain greenhouse over the mountains in the works if your interested in doing that this month arty:

That could be fun! I hear it's a great place to visit and I've not been there yet.

So is anyone else up for going on a road trip?

Won't be much of a road trip for me, but I'll meet you guys up there!

Isn't there a pretty awesome LFS out there we can check out since we're east of the mountains anyway? Seems like I remember a YouTube video of a store with a huge penninsula display.

Yes. Aquatic Dreams. He's also another sponsor, here on Reef Frontiers and the Moderator of the SPS Coral forum. Great store!

Dang, I would love to go.
What time are you planning on leaving and getting back?

 

[Workaholic]

well with the drive as long as it is AND visiting aquatic dreams I would LIKE to be on the road by say 7am at the latest 7:30 that way we get to Henk's about 11 and have time to check out the greenhouse and hit aquatic dreams then drive back.

 

[user 26995]

That means I would have to leave the house at 5 to meet up with you.
Hmmmmm....I'll think about it. Actually, I could leave a little later and pass you up on I90 somewhere. :wave:

There's also Aquarium Solutions, if you're doing an LFS tour. Barbie is also a sponsor, here on RF. She's located in the Spokane Valley. Aquatic Dreams is located in Post Falls, ID. They're about 20 minutes apart and both worth visiting.

Thanks very much. i'll be sure to keep that in mind

Fallon: sorry I didn't see that there were new posts until checking on it now (for some reason I didn't get an email ) It will be next sat. the 19th.

OK! so I need to know who is riding in the dodge with Helki and I. I'll have 2 normal seats and 1 middle seat in the back of my truck that folks who are up for chipping in a bit of $$ for fuel are welcome to join us

Thanks,

Okay everyone, I'm looking forward to seeing you all, tomorrow! Hope there's a BUNCH of you!

Tom and I have discussed some travel details and I'll be meeting you guys, once you get into Spokane, to lead the convoy to the green house. I've figured out a good location that should be easy for you to find. You'll be taking the Maple/Lincoln St exit, which is the first exit into the downtown Spokane area. Then you'll take Maple St north. About 3-4 miles north of downtown, we'll meet at Five Mile Pizza's parking lot.

Here's a link to Five Mile Pizza's location.

Google Maps

Safe travels and DON'T speed near Moses Lake or Ritzville!

After the green house tour, if you're planning on going to Aquatic Dreams, here's the easiest and best route. This route does NOT start at the green house but I'll get you to it's Start Point, as we leave the green house.

E Day Mt Spokane Rd & N Bruce Rd, Mead, WA 99021 to Aquatic Dreams - Google Maps
