Beacon Rocc: scirocco.org PNW cruise Cincy weekend?



If I am in town and my rocco is running right I am in.  Maybe Sean would
drive his too.  The drive has an ass load of tunnels also which is good for
tuning your horn :)  Vortex forums has had some threads on WA GTA and drives
also.  Mostly in the North though.
