    The first ring around St Helens and Rainier

    Hi Everyone,

    Ok, first of all, sorry for the delay in the details. As some of you may know I am a financial advisor in real life and my free time has been limited.
    That plus two sets of aging parents.

    But, the following is the details for all that are interested.

    Departure and meeting place;
    Saturday, August 27th
    8:00 am at Krispy Kreme, Tacoma Mall right off I-5
    meet up and try to leave as close to 8:30am as possible

    Basically what were doing is heading south on I-5 to Woodland, then heading east to Cougar, then north to Randle and then to Packwood for lunch.
    There is a side road to a viewing place for St Helens on the road between Cougar and Randle
    After lunch, heading east to SR123 and then north to 410 over Chinook Pass to Enumclaw
    total trip is about 290 miles and should have us into Enumclaw around 3:30pm.
    for those that need to get home early there will be an option to head west from Randle and head to I-5 or to Morton and then north to Enumclaw.
    Chinook Pass should be awesome with the remaining snow and, God willing, good weather. Its a really nice, fun scenic road.


    please email me thru the faq for a more detailed attachment of the route

    Cheers to all,
    George Bonney

    to all you e30 owners, you're more than welcome to come along and join in the fun to see if you all can stay up with the 2002's ha ha

    but seriously, this is not a race, its an excuse to get out and DRIVE!!!

    come along

      In fact, I just drove HWY 7 south to 12 East. SR123 North to 410 and then over the pass. But 410 going west after the pass is terrible... bad pavement. I found 7 to be much better.

      That Buckley drive in off 410 would be a good place to stop for a snack. Its right off the road and called Wally's

                    If the 318is proves more road worthy than it did this morning, I'm in. Working out the kinks...
