We will be stopping at the point of interest, at the entrance of the park for our lunch break. Brian Heston know’s the area from here, so he will lead us the rest of the way through the park.

Note:
Please drive with caution. I know that everyone wants to show off his or her cars, but I'd rather see everyone make it home safely. Please take the road conditions into mind, especially in and around Mount St. Helen's.

lets hope this helps everyone.

So it sounds like Johnston Ridge again. At least the road to the observatory is open right now.

Ok, this Mt. St. Helens run is different than the one I went on last August. We only had 7(8?) 8s, and a Celica All-trak.

This one sounds fun though!

kristopher_d

That run with the 7's was posted here last year, and attended by 3 or 4 of us from the boards, plus the guy with the wedding to get to.

DA question but do significant others, ***** & chains, etc. come along?

kettlman

yeah.... my wife should be driving her 7, unless i procrastinate on the engine swap like i always do. but there are plenty couples that do the drives and bbq's with us.

WHTIGER

aint gona make the baby wont be done with her make over....LOL

Emsdad

Any idea when we will get to the top? Or bottom? I have to work at 4pm that day in downtown Tacoma, but I really want to go!

What really stinks is I originally had this day off, but my boss changed the schedule around!

kristopher_d

It shouldn't take more than 1 hr even with a stop at one of the over looks. It's only 51 miles from I5 to the Observatory at the end of the road.

kettlman

it's getting close. looks like a decent day also. see you all there.

WHTIGER

The Baby aint ready yet~~but she should be at the next meeting.....I should be at Izzsy to wish u all off.

kettlman

well, i can't wait to see it. hurry up!

kettlman

it's time.. see you all there!

sea-rx8

well....here I am at work....wishing I were with you guys Make sure and post some pics.

WHTIGER

My baby make over is just about complete. Put the clear coat on today. I’ve got to put it back together and cut and buff but I thing I’ll hold off on that for a couple of day’s so I can take her to the meeting on the 13th at Izzy’s Monday.
