Happy to get folks interested if you decide to link in the pacific northwest Seattle to Eugene (on way to San Francisco). I would do a Eugene Group.
I will try to get it back in for next year but as I try to keep it within a 15 day span it won’t be feasible this year Planning to include it next year though
