Saint Helens Group Drive!

What I'd like to do is arrange a trip to Mount Saint Helens next month.

This would be just about a full day event as we'd all drive from an initial location to St. Helens, have a picnic/BBQ then drive around some fun roads, and finally a trip back.

I am posting this on the 2.5RS forum as well, but there will be little turn out most likely. Regardless- This will be alot of fun and a great way to celebrate summer.

So- Lets get the event started!


Date: Sunday, August 16th, 2009
Locations: Morning= Olympia- Lilly Rd & Pacific near Dairy Queen.
Time: 9:30AM

Route: To BE DETERMINED. (I'll be scouting the area a week prior for road availability.)

 

Awesome! I'll be there for sure!

 

I would Love to make this one....
Anyone bringing Motorola radios?

 

Bump!

Here is a video from the last event I attended!

<<<LINK to my car making a few 0's>>>

 

Well, if I don't do Bible Creek Hillclimb that weekend I will most likely go.

 

If I come back from Austria in time I'll go

 

if the car is back from pineapple/forged i will go

 

Bump!

I'll post the route today!

 

Damnit!! I will see if I can get new tires on the bike before Sunday and show up with the Krotch Rocket.

 

hey! ill be there wont be in a 7 but im my wrx

 

Damn.... too bad I'm stuck down here in Phoenix where it's 108F. The wife and I did that drive a couple of years ago. Awesome drive Up and Back. Stopped at that roadside cafe about 15 mi from the Volcano. Awesome food and some of the best Apple pie we've ever had. Have fun!

 

This still on?

I am going to be there with WampaStompa sunday morning im my Impreza WRX

 

Its still on! I've been really busy lately. New job, and trying to find a new place up in Seattle. That and I don't have a laptop to haul back and forth makes keeping this up to date slow and somewhat difficult.

As far as routes, I'm leaning to Johnson's point as the roads are well maintained and there are plenty of places to BBQ. Most importantly, the route is shorter so it will be cheaper on gas.

 

DAMNIT!!!!!!!! Why didn't I see this earlier???

My car has no subframe right now... I need a new diff mount. Maybe next year.

 

Wow I just saw this! I'm not sure if I can go... depends on if The Spyder comes up and helps me get my car running tomorrow...

 

so like 4 people are going? take a roll call.

 

Can you guys meet down in like Vancouver somewhere for us around here to meet up and join you for the run?

 

Nevermind, car won't be ready, plus that would make it even more of a drive. :p lol Have fun tomorrow guys!

 

Damn it! Why can't we do this when Pink salmon aren't running...

 

ill be there see at 930 ish

 

We had roughly 6 people at the event. It was ALOT of fun!

The day started off with a very interesting twist.....




This was the reason why.


So the local State Patrol were kind enough to make sure we were alright. Thankfully no tickets were issued.

Lunch was delayed due to trying to find a replacement tire. Thankfully some shop was kind enough to trade 2 tires for some Gaterade (of all things).

Anyways- the trip was a BLAST!!! More pics to follow later!

 

Well, this was so fun. Ill be posting my pics on my myspace and linking it up on here I took so many pics i cant fit them all on here
