craig and i discussed a drive up to mt. saint helens to shake out the cars before the BIG drive to california. if the long range forecast gave us a nice weekend in march/early april are there members that could/would jump in the car and show up? the drive up to the mountain is the finest dead end road i have ever been on, and the johnson observation center is fantastic. this would be a very unorganized deal, just show and go.

How about a short drive to Gig Harbor to Mark Seiferth's place?
I'll be there with the project 914/6 2.7 in the afternoon. I've got to be in the office until about noon in Seattle. Should be lots of other gearheads having a project day doing bushing replacements on our BMWs. 4103 81st ave ct nw Gig Harbor, WA 98335 Ed Kielbon 206-755-1301 © |

a very informal deal dave. i may drive to the habor, say 2 ish? the silver car loaded up badly on the 2 hour 15 minute drive home from fordahls. i put some high rev miles on it last weekend and it seemed to clear out.

St. Helens drive on a nice spring day (cold OK, rain NOT) is a go for me. Might even talk wife into going along.

As an aside, I've been holding on to an article from local paper on a covered bridge "tour" in the Willamette valley. Hope to try it this year. If it is a good 914 trip I will attempt to organize a summer/fall gathering. Probably be a BYO picnic kind of deal.

(threadjack) Did you guys see the pics of the semi that wrecked over a gorge yesterday in WA? It was pretty amazing footage.

Yeah...the driver was lucky it was a west wind (blowing him off to the left instead of to the right)!

Yes, (to Seanerys post) that was amazing and shit it was windy the other day!
I can't make to GigHarbor today, busy with work stuff. I will try to make it to the Mt St Helens trip depending on what day it ends up. Geoff |

That's a neat road. The bad news is that the WSP patrols it as if they were expecting Osama Bin Laundry to take the drive.
It goes up to 3600 feet or so. Snow in April is not uncommon.....I hates cold. The last week in July is much nicer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

that semi was dangling 190 ft up, old 2 lane bridge. heavy side winds. how about the guy in the white pickup. get in a head on with a semi or potentialy drive off the bridge? tough choise. that bridge and 2 ferry landings are the only way off whidbey island. jp, does the toyota not have a heater? we don't have to drive like we are looking to get tickets.

I've never been to Mt St Helens, but both Amber and I would love to go depending on the weather and my schedule. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
