Official Sign Up: Mt. St. Helens '09 "No Fog" Windy Ridge Edition

Date: Saturday June 27th, 2009
Start Time: Meet at 9:30-10am, Driving portion starts at 10:30am
Starting Location: I-5 Exit 63 (Washington 505) Shell Station/ View Point

We will be meeting 1/4 mile west of the I-5 exit 63 off ramp. For those that went last time, this is the same starting location. Look for the Shell Station/ Viewpoint. It affords plenty of parking and is the only building around (easy to find!). Its approximately 1hr north of Vancouer, so those coming from Seattle it isnt too far at all .

This time the drive will loop around Mt. St. Helens, and afford tons of awesome viewing of the mountain (minus fog, oh god...please be no fog!). It is known as the "Windy Ridge Drive" and I know several car and motorcycle groups that make this drive each year and is a very well known/ popular car club destination (maybe we will see another club when we are up there ). Alot of great scenery and several lakes, including a very winding road up to Windy Ridge and Spirit Lake. The drive passes right through Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The drive will conclude in Woodland (right off I-5) were we can stop and have dinner at a resturaunt for those interested. Overall its more driving then last years infamous "Fog Drive," but still is far from an endurance drive .

Windy Ridge Drive

Note- the map shows exit 68 as the start...we are starting at Exit 63~ the linky is just a map I found. Gives a great idea of what to expect!


UPDATE: Even though I posted an update below, I felt it was worth mentioning in the initial post. There is a possibility that the drive may be altered due to damaged roadways/ bridges. If that is the case, then the only change is the drive will go to the Johnson Ridge Observatory on the west side of the moutain. Further cofirmation will come if we find anything out. Everything else is remaining the same (date, time, starting location, ect).

Re: Official Sign Up: Mt. St. Helens '09 "No Fog" Windy Ridge Edition

...hmmmm. FR 25; the road that I ran with the Lotus Elan, the Jaguar SK8 and the Honda S2K... the road that put all the best qualities, design attributes and road handling capabilities of the SVX on display for the owners of those other eminent marques... the road that inspired my long-winded homage to the SVX:

http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...ight=judgement

I might not be able to reisist this return to FR 25...

seasvx - Always one of my favorite SVX reads! No, you CAN NOT resist! Join us!

I'll be there and hopefully Corrina too if we can arrange a sitter. Might have to take up the end of the pack and catch up a lot, I have some suspension issues, but I'd really like to actually drive my own car at one of these since it's been well over a year.

1.) Erik & Jill (Shadabob)
2.) Mark (KVRXS)...and maybe Joy or Shar?
3.) Fuddman
4.) Troy & Corrina (MacGyver)

Re: Official Sign Up: Mt. St. Helens '09 "No Fog" Windy Ridge Edition

UPDATE

Due to damage from this years harsh winter, apparently some areas of the "windy ridge" drive might not be possible . This doesnt mean we cant do a drive though. The back up plan is to redo last years drive up to Johnson Ridge, since we didnt get to "see" much anyways "curse you fog!"

So, Mark and I will be keeping tabs on the availability of the road/ bridge repairs going on, and if we can do the East Loop on the Windy Ridge side, that is the route we will take. Either way, the drive will happen, it just might be the west side, rather then the east. The good part is, it doesnt change our time or starting point, so really if you just show up at the designated time and place (Exit 63 on I-5)...plan to do some driving with some other great SVX owners...you'll have a great time.
