Mt. St. Helens No Fog Edition

WestCoastSVX · #1 05-14-2009, 09:35 AM

Anyone that was at the Mt. St. Helens run last September remembers it was a fun day, but we didn't get to see ANYTHING once we got anywhere near the mountain.

I believe there was talk about doing this tour, or some variation of it, again, hopefully at a time of year that our chances of thick fog are much less.

Maybe in July? Mark and/or Erik, interested?

I would definately be interested. I would have to get off of work, so if the drive did happen, the sooner a date was locked down, the better chances for me to be able to go (if I cant get it off, I might be able to trade days with someone). This is a great idea for a drive, but yeah that fog sure was a bummer

Though the pictures I got at the bridge were awesome (you know...were there was aboslutely no fog!)

Anyone else interested??

yeah... now that my 94 is running somewhat reliably, and has a new pair of summer shoes

I am interested as well. That would be great. I had a great time before and we couldn't see. Just think how it will be to see the mountain.

Miss the car, dont miss the problems they gave me...

Hondasucks · #9 05-14-2009, 11:37 PM

I'm down!!!!

Okay, my only real good chance is to request a Saturday off. Sadly, July is a tough month since everyone else likes to enjoy the summer time too, but I might be able to do the 11th of the 18th. Anyone have preferences? I would have to get my bid in asap...only one slot left on both of those dates. I could also do the last Saturday in June if that works too (that would be easy to get)?? I have meant to talk to Mark at work, but its been to busy and I missed him both times this week...doh. Of course, maybe if he checked in on the forum more often!!

Hi,
I'm up for a drive. This time to Windy Ridge. Great driving roads and spectacular view of the crater. Erik and I can check the status of the roads, as they were closed for repairs last year. July sounds perfect, the earlier the better. Craving driving things.
Speaking of the driven, the Oregon Trail Rally was awesome. Travis Pastrana is the most insane rally driver since McRae (aka McCrash). Who but us crazed Subaru fans would cheer their hero who has just enveloped us in a massive (can't see or breathe) dust cloud? My car is a huge dust ball, leaving the windows cracked, bad idea, don't think it will ever be clean again.
Summer, Yeah!!!!
Mark

Just remember that the Dabob Seafood Fest is the last weekend of July / first weekend of Aug.

You mean EG33

Cant wait to see that swap.
I dont know if I'll have my Teal up and running then, but I'll try.
But if I can make it, I'll bring something thats fun to drive.
I have alot going on in June/July/Aug, so if its 6-27 I'm not sure if I can make it.
I might be making 2 trips East this Summer.
One for the Dragon and the other to take my Dads ashes back to Maine.

So is this a go for the last Saturday in June? Sounds like Mark is in. I am too (pending getting the day off, which I should be able too). I just need to know if this is gonna be official or not, so I know if I need to get the day off.

We can post the exact details later, but the important part is the date. June 27th, start time 10-10:30am. Last time we met at a great start point right off of I-5 approx 1 hour north of Vancouver. The drive is centered around Mt. St. Helens, with several stops along the way. I know Mark mentioned the Windy Ridge route as a possible alternative (still Mt. St. Helens).

Maybe we should start a sign up(?).

1.) Mark (KVRXS)
2.) Erik & Jill (Shadabob)
3.)
