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 a month after the all Mazda run was posted on several forums including this one, you decide to post a run a week later to the same place?
At least you're more organized, with meeting places and such, but some of us have already made plans, and worked on the assumption (yes, I know how the word breaks down) that our little St Helens run (BTW, its at least the 5th annual run, I've been around since '01 and we've made the run every year) had grown.

one doesn't preclude the other. the oly izzys rx7 group picked the weekend that was best for the folks at the march meeting, prior to the all mazda meet being posted. some have stated that they will be doing the all mazda meet, some cant make it for one reason or another. It is all good....

I'd think pretty tough to do the St.Helens run the weekend after Apple Blossom. 
People are wooped from partying all that weekend, and spend enough money on gas, hotel, and other things. Then to go on a long drive a week later. Maybe your group should have contacted Kettlmans Izzys group so you both could have decided a good date to do this together, or maybe even better yet, gone to a Izzys meeting.
