INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Mt. St Helens Drive

MAY 20th, 2007

North Drivers:

Everyone from the North will have their first stop at the 272nd Park n Ride to meet the first group. The directions are as follows.



Head South on I-5. Take exit #147 (272nd St). Turn right off of exit. At first light turn right. Turn right into Park n Ride. If you need gas, turn left off of exit and there is an Am-Pm down the street on the left.



Meeting time: 8:30am

Leaving time: 9:00am

(Please don’t be late, as we will be leaving at exactly 9:00 to meet up with the next drivers). If you need gas please fill up before joining us so we can be on time to Olympia.





Onward Olympia: Approximately 41 miles to Olympia (44 mins)

(Meeting Kettlman’s group)

Turn left onto 272nd; get in the far right lane. After the first light you will be getting onto I-5 going south.



Take the PACIFIC AVE. exit- exit number #107. Turn LEFT onto PACIFIC AVE SE. Look for Albertson’s on the left hand side. (About ¼ to ½ mile) End at 3540 PACIFIC AVE SE. We will meet at (Izzys Pizza).

(There should be plenty of time to fill up here. I expect we should have about 40 minutes to do so.



Meeting time: 10:00

Leaving time: 10:30

_________________________________________________











Together We Are

(1st Rest Stop) Approximately 30 miles past Olympia (33 mins)



Take I-5 South towards Portland. This exit is just past Centralia. We will be taking Exit #79 (Chamber way).

There is Gas and Fast food at this stop.



Estimated arrival: 11:00pm

Estimated Departing 11:30pm







Then we will be going a different route this year. less traffic, more turns, much better.









_________________________________________________

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.

I'll be there. I'm hoping to pre-drive the route I have in mind towards the end of the month to make sure nothing washed away over the winter. It's going to be lots of twisty fun.

I should have the new volvo hopefully ready to drive by then. I will most likely meet at the rest stop (I am just off of exit 82).

i will more than likely be moved back to yakima, but will pick you up at the wa12 intersection... maybe n the 3rd gen!!

ttt

I'd like to make this. We'll have to see if I got the new car up and running reliably by then. Working 7 10s at work now, so time for the RX is kinda limited. But, it'll give me some $$$ for new toys for the T2.

i want to go if car is registered and has plates

I wish I could be there for this but next year ill be there in the srt-4

i will be there!

New Volvo is drivable but not quite ready yet. The Swedes make tough blocks but their wiring skills leave a lot to be desired. On a plus note the smoking and oil leaks are gone as of last weekends day in the shop. $300 car + $100 in parts. Can't complain at all.

Just a bump. The drive is coming up in just a couple of weeks.



Don't know if I'll have the T2 ready by then. If not, I need to decide between the drive and Springmeet with the dub, if you'll allow a lowly VW on the drive https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif .

are we going to do any sort of lunch or food at the top ?

lemme know if there is anything I can bring.

-aaron

Folks should probably pack a picnic.

I have never been to st. helens, I assume they don't have any grill we could bbq something up on?

Nope I don't think that BBQ will be an option. We will be ending at an interpretive center and/or viewpoint. There will be places to get food but they are probably over an hour from our final destination point so we could all get together on the way back down. I'll be bringing a few snacks cos I get grumpy when I'm hungry https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.gif

I wana be there damn it! Damn Korea damn it all to hell!!!

Time to start the list. I think I captured everyone who is a definate yes from both forums, if I got your car wrong, feel free to change. Please copy and add your list to the name if you are coming, thanks

I'm planning on coming w/ the GLi. The T2 isn't running yet, getting closer, but definetly won't be ready for the 20th. I'm also trying to talk my friend into bringing his S4.

bring them all.

If the weather is nice we should be there in the miata, if its a bit rainy then the 7.

i should be there if my cars still running, https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif *knock on wood*

I got a few electrical problems to sort out with the Volvo but it should be good to go even if those things aren't sorted out (damn Swedes and their wiring!).

my sn is notveryhappyjack on the other site, you have me down twice.



my tabs go bad on the 14th but I'm totally risking driving it until the end of the month just so I can go on this drive.

hope to see a good turnout next weekend.

if your worried a trip permit is only like 23 bucks for a 3 day pass?? if u got hte may tag they prolly wont notice unless they actually run yr plates tho

i only wish that i had my car up and running so i could go this year, but it is looking like i wont have it working by then. and i get paid on that day from my job so i wont be able to have gas money or anything to get it going either. but u all have a great trip and day. i want to see lots of pics and vids from the trip.

My friend in the S4 backed out. He forgot this weekend is the ALMS race @ Miller Motorsports Park in Utah that he's driving down to. I'm still coming though. Can't wait!

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/violin.gif looks like i wont be going....

on the good news tommarow im pickng up a good motor!! like low milage and exelent compression https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif

and will prolly take the weekend to install it and get it up and running again.

I would like to know where u r finding all of these good running engines? and how much r they? would it be better for me to get one also or should i just bring it to ur dads anyways and rebuild mine? let me know.

i look around everywhere,but mostly there from people i know or have connections with, havnt really come across any 12a latly tho

Damn kompressor you have the worst luck with engines, I mean youve poped like 20 since ive been on this site and ive only poped one.

I know some one has a pic of me some where, some one should print it out and tape it on their car so I can be there https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif anyways ill be there in spirit.

This for me also x 2[color=#000099]

I hope I get time tomorrow to tighten up the motor mount bolts that I forget to do when I dropped the pan. I also got to clean the power seat switch contacts so that I can get farther back from the wheel LOL! Bulbs all work now (even though not all lenses are there). I think tabs are current. Maybe if I got time I can even switch out the noisy blower motor so that I can use the defrost LOL!

For those who are interested we'll be going back up hwy 7 for some more fun roads.

I was able to get one side motor mount bolt tightened down all the way but I didn't have the clearance to get to the other one while in the driveway. On top of that babysitting has basically fallen through so it looks like I wont be able to go. Even if I could somehow get the car in the air enough to take off the oil filter and tighten down that nut I still don't have a babysitter.

I will see what I can do (fingers crossed).

Which exit # is the 272nd park and ride at? I'm coming from bellingham, so need to try to plan my leave time.

nevermind, just opened my eyes. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

Looks like I will be missing this one. The babysitting plan fell through and no backups. Things are difficult and usually take months of planning when you got 4 kids in carseats LOL! Hopefully I will at least be able to make the Yakima BBQ next week.

Have fun tomorrow, hopefully the weather wont be horrible. Take lots of pictures and most of all BE SAFE!
