Planning hell, this brings back memories of a combined trip between our
chapter and Seattle (Puget Sound?) to Mount St. Helens.  Visualize 30 or so
miatas snaking their way up the side of Mount St. Helens on a one lane road
with very few turnouts!  The drivers of the oncoming cars had eyes as big as
plates!  We also had some strange times when the lead car decided to "pull
over" on the side of the highway to: get coffee, check directions, use
the bathroom, etc.  An easy thing when its just a few cars, but with 20-30
in a line on a busy highway this can become downright bizarre.

Have to agree w/ Alan, the local chapter has provided some enduring
good memories...
