Dear Steam Car Folks,
Our world class steam car tour just ten months away. Located in Monroe, Washington, we will be steaming for four full
days on the less traveled back roads and valleys, through the alpine Cascade foot hills. With plenty of water available, we will
see autumn colors and have the experience of: Hot Fog~~~*~**2002
You would think the gloom of a world recession and the Taliban terrorists at our back doors would slow you folks
down. But no! There is no better display of enthusiasm shown, than with our steam car owners and SACA members. It has
been a race to see who would be the first one to get the coveted number one registration number. Frank Hix has been asking
for a registration form since August and I e-mailed one off as soon as I had it done, as I also did with everyone else. Going by
the Postal cancellations on their letters, Channell Wasson beat Frank out by one day!
Way to go Channell! He is Hot Fog number one! Frank Hix and 5 passengers are Hot Fog number two!
By the way, that makes two condensing Stanleys. There will be: How many Whites? How many Noncondensing Stanleys
? How many Locomobiles? Which team will win for the most show? This competition is good. Keep it up.
Check out the attached registration form. Keep in touch!

Dear Tom,
It looks like this "Hot Fog" 2002 steam car tour may eclipse any West coast our that we have had yet. The enthusiasm and
promises that have been shown, indicate that we will have many cars attending from the East coast too. Check out the recent
e-mail from the Stanley Museum.

"Hi, Pat!
I plan to come too, with the Martin Model R, of course. You’re welcome to save #13 for me — it’s my lucky
number."

Make you room reservations early. There is a sister motel within 800 feet of this one that will take the over flow but they will not
have our dirt cheap room rates.
It will be a new experience for us in that this is the first time in 40 years that SACA, Inc is sponsoring this event
and we will have many new faces. Over the past 15 years, only HCCA has been our sponsor.
The last time that SACA,Inc was our sponsor was a Northwest tour in about 1962 when Dean Spencer was our SACA,NW
chapter president.
