Road Trip North

[Gumby]

Revised. Have you ever wanted to see some of our hobbyist from the Norths extraordinary tanks or buy corals from them? July 27th Saturday Roy(stylaster), myself(gumby), natalia(coraltopia) are setting up a RARE roadtrip up North near the Seattle area. We are planning on 10 cars to carpool up there. We will hit 7 houses. We will be traveling to Seattle, Everett, Renton etc. Natalia(Coraltopia, Paul Hamby, Mike Henham, Mike Phillip's(Shipwrecked Corals), Debrorah Glenn, Gene Friend(Unrivaled Reef), Caitlen Ong. Anyone who knows these people knows this is a great opportunity. These people do not open their doors to anyone. The cost will be $5 each that I will donate to the Tank for Teachers and also split gas cost with your driver. So save your money and send me a PM to save your spot. If you can drive or want to let me know.

This is awesome !! Some good guys on that list with some great coral!  July 31 is a Wednesday so what day did you really mean ? Sirena and I could fit 3 more in her car two if you’re a little fat 😂. Sign us up pending date! 

[Jeremevans]

That's sounds like a heck of a lineup.

 

I'm in (depending on actual date) and could drive.

Should be July 27th based on the text invite Jim sent me. Sorry I will miss this one, but duty calls - and by duty, I mean a big party someone invited me to weeks ago. 😆 My summer calendar always fills up fast.

Bummed to miss it, but anyone who hasn’t been to Natalia’s before is in for a treat! She painted amazing reef themed murals in her garage and has her tanks packed denser than you thought possible.

Yes it should  be the 27th. 😀

Sounds like fun. Pencil me in. I may be able to drive as well if needed. Just need to run the details by the wife lol. 

[Emerald525]

Oh 😯 we can’t make it July 27. We are going to see Wicked that day. So sad 😞. Great idea though and sounds like a blast . We should do that locally again one day .

 I can't guarantee that with 7 stops unless your group decides otherwise. I would give yourself more like 8pm just to be safe.

Yo Jim
I'm sure there are a bunch of stick-heads up north, maybe you can kindly ask them for more higher end sticks (if they are willing to cut some). Being a stick-head yourself, I'm quite sure, you'd want something a bit more worth it, other than what was listed. Then again, you did say, that you'll be adding to the list. After all, we are driving 6 plus hours, round trip. Let's make it worth the time and money.

Also, will they be selling corals at retail or close to it, for the local peeps? I'm sure most of us would like to have an idea on what the corals would cost, approximately. It would give us an idea on how much we need to save or whether it's worth it to even go. Get what I'm sayin'?

If it's alright with you, I'll make a list of things that I'd like to purchase and post it here. Whether they have it or not, it'll give me some sort of idea if the trip will be worth it.

I am saving my pennies and can't wait to go!

Thanks for putting this together, Jim@Gumby!

There will be alot of nice sps also. I will be posting. Stay tuned.

[Gumby]

These are just a few more corals you will see on the roadtrip. I hope everyone can make time to go. I will hopefully get more list as we go. I can't stress how much of an unique opportunity it is for these people to open their houses up to us.

Not sure. In most cases the more you spend the better the deal.

    Northern Road Trip

 

Have you ever wanted to see some of our hobbyist from the Norths extraordinary tanks or buy corals from them? July 27th Saturday Roy Seine, myself Jim Armstrong, Natalia(coraltopia) are setting up a RARE roadtrip up North near the Seattle area. We are planning to meet up there. We will hit 5 to 6 houses. We will be traveling to Seattle, Everett, Renton etc. Natalia(Coraltopia,  Mike Henham, Mike Phillip's(Shipwrecked Corals), Debrorah Glenn, Gene Friend(Unrivaled Reef), Caitlen Ong. Anyone who knows these people knows this is a great opportunity. These people do not open their doors to anyone. We will have some meeting places for those that want to carpool and split gas cost with your driver. So save your money and send me a message to save your spot. If you can drive or want to let me know. If you live up North and want to go no problem.

If you are already going I will get you an idea of our schedule by the end of the week. Anyone that hasn't signed up send me msg so we know how many to expect.

[Gumby]

If anyone is interested in going on the Road trip. Details and times will be on facebook page in a couple days called Road trip The Search for Corals.https://www.facebook.com/groups/484245425659339/

[Gumby]

Our group can meet in a couple different spots. If someone wants to carpool leave their car. My 5:00am in Vancouver or Roy's at 6:00am or if they already have everything taken care and no they don't need to meet anybody between 8:30-9:30 at Natalia's. I will put all the addresses up and times in a couple days. Still sign up on the facebook if you can.
