haha...thanks for the post James.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.
I understand that this is very short notice for many of you so I am obviously not really expecting many of you to come out. For those that do, I am sure you will enjoy some of the roads that we will be taking.
The weather is looking like there will be a little precipitation, but the forecasts are always wrong, so who knows.
Hope to see some of you out there.

Drive safe you guys...I heard the drive out to Mt St Helens was a bit "bumpy" because of all the pot hole, ruts, etc. I won't be going out there anytime soon because of that!

Actually, the road that goes to St Helen's from I-5 is FANTASTIC. It is smooth, great curves, and good stretches to open up the car. I did the drive in my e46 M3 this past July. The roads around Mt Rainier are another story; they are pretty run down in many areas and have a LOT of potholes. Did that route in July also.

Yep, definitely not the highway I was thinking of. The one that goes to Windy Peak (NF-99) was VERY good when it was still smooth a couple years ago. It's gotten worse since then. I'll have to try Hwy 504 one day.

Yeah, the road that actually goes up St Helens is extremely bumpy and not lowered car friendly....
We went up the highway that takes you up to the observation centers that are across from St Helens...
Great road
