May in Club History
Most everyone has probably already read this in Healey Northwest, but I thought I’d start to get in the habit of posting these article here also as we transition from the newsletter to the web site. For new readers, since February 2006, I’ve been extracting some tidbits of interest each month from the past issues of Healey Northwest, at ten year intervals. If I have the fortitude, this should keep me busy writing (and you reading) for ten years without repeating myself.
Thirty Years Ago
Club members met at the parking lot under the Interstate Bridge at the Jantzen Beach Thunderbird, then toured through Clark County, Washington. The Club stopped at Beaver Bay on Yale Reservoir to picnic, held a meeting, and then proceeded on to Woodland and the Ape Caves, the world’s longest lava tubes. Also worthy of mention from 30 years ago: Richard Mayor joined the Club. And, he’s still a member. Congratulations!
Twenty Years Ago
AHCO members began their monthly get together by participating in a parade of some sort in Scio. Sixteen Healeys participated. After lunch, Boyd and Judi Spiker led everyone on a tour of covered bridges in the area, finishing up at the Spiker’s house in Scio for a barbeque and Club meeting.
Ten Years Ago
The Wilson’s hosted an overnight back roads tour from Junction City to Yachats and the Central Coast. The tour featured 50 miles of single-lane, paved, wilderness roads in the Coast Range.
