*Edit*
In Washington there will be a mass car meet up in Leavenworth WA. I heard that guys from California, Oregon and Canada participate in this long drive to Leavenworth. I just haven't heard anything about this year and want to go. So is anyone doing the Leavenworth Drive 2014.

Here's a video from 2013.

Usually happens right around the Fathers day. Still undecided about this year if I will go or not. Last year I just went straight to Leavenworth in the early morning.

If it's your first year doing it, highly suggest doing the entire thing (BCC-->405-->HWY2).

Website hasn't been updated for 2014. Either keep checking on Vortex or go to their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/LeavenworthDrive

If they do this on June 7th or 14th, I might be able to make it out. If it's 21st, then I'm out. On 29th is Waterwerks on the Green...so they won't do a drive on the same weekend.

:bonk: I clearly can't read properly

Is it generally a Saturday or a Sunday thing?

Some people just drive over for Saturday to do the meet and do lunch and then drive back, for some of the people with the longer trek, I assume they stay the night and drive back Sunday. Not 100% sure though.

The formal event is on Saturday only.

Below is my personal opinion based on doing this drive maybe 4 or 5 times:
-If you want to do the whole thing, meaning the BCC get together, cruise with everyone in a huge convoy, stop on top of Stevens pass to chat with people and participate in whatever H&R booth does, and then spend decent amount of time walking around Leavenworth (drink some beer, etc.), then you definitely should stay the night. Convoy won't leave BCC until probably 11am at the earliest. You won't get up to Steven's until 3 because so many cars on the road create traffic all the way up until you pass Gold Bar. From there, you won't get into town until around 5. As you can see, just getting to Leavenworth takes an entire day. Last year we drove straight into town without doing BCC and cars started trickling in around 2 or 3...and those are the people who left BCC earlier and skipped stopping at Stevens pass. Plus drinking and driving back home is dumb, cops know we are coming and will be patrolling HWY2. If you know people or have a group of friends who want to go, get a cabin...they end up being cheaper than individual hotel rooms.

Sunday is when everyone is hung over and drives back home.

Hey babe,
