5 more days and counting! Weather report is looking VERY good, with Saturday in the high 70s (crossing fingers, lol). And if you still havent signed up, its still not to late! I spoke with Mark today, and he will be posting some more details and other info soon.

Looking forward to it!!

Hi,
Just a short note. The road around Mt. St. Helens will be closed, probably for the duration of summer. So, this drive will be similar to the last one, only with a twist. Actually, more than one. The extra curves will only add a few miles to the trip, but they're cool corners.
A hunt for four things, with clues, will be a part of this. Only one person has to find the objects to be shared with the rest of the group, so you can kick back if you like. Lunch will be provided, just sandwiches and snacks and drinks, as there is no food available at the visitors center. This allows for a bit more time hanging out without hunger.
The cost for the visitors center is eight dollars per person. If you haven't been, it is worth it. Dinner will be at the Guadalajara at the end of the day, about 5 pm.
We look forward to everyone coming and plan to see said mountain this time.
Mark and Joy

I wish I could go on this one. I have to go to a wedding reception and will not make it. I will be there in spirit anyway. See you at the Dabob Seafood Meet in July/Aug. There will be some fun activities.

I'm back in the area and looking forward to this, just got to find time to put my car back together in the next 4 days, which might be a challenge.

Hi Troy
Hope your car project goes smoothly. I've worked on my car up to midnight before the day, talk about cutting it close. In fact, it was before a Dabob meet, which I would have been really bummed to miss. We'll be at the one this year, for sure, but probably without the SVX. Everyone wants to come this year. Too many miles for four people. We could fit, but we wouldn't be happy. See ya at Dabob, Earl
Mark and Co.

Thanks Mark. I remember your "midnight before Dabob" SVX work.

Ran into some hurdles yesterday and just don't think there's time to get everything I want done.

Plus we couldn't arrange a sitter and Corrina really wants to go, so we decided to just bring the SUV so Kaylee can have more room and watch DVDs (she's a bad car traveller). But at least we'll make it, some of you I only see once a year!

Why doesn't Joy drive her's? That would get all 4 of you up here. (2 in each SVX) She wanted one the last time she was here, so I thought by now .....

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

Success!

Awesome day guys, and thank you too everyone that came. We had a small turnout, but it worked out great. Ended up with 5 cars total...and Troy in his Envoy The weather was unbelievable, and the driving was superb. That is exactly what Mark and I had in mind last time

Great job on the scavenger hunt Mark. Thank goodness Troy was there to figure all the clues out Thanks for the lunch too!

For those that didnt make it, we took tons of pics and will make sure to post some of the best ones.

We also saw numerous motorcycle "gangs" and two other car clubs on the drive (and spoke with both). One was a group of "Tuners." Mostly MazadSpeeds, a STi, and a Legacy GT. They were driving like madmen across the huge bridge while we were checking it out at the view point. We met up with them at the top, and spoke with them for several minutes. There was also a group of about 20+ Lexus owners who were up there too.

Bad news for me though, I discovered when I got home my SVX had developed a rather nasty oil leak up around the front seal. Nothing crazy bad, but it is dripping. I'm gonna have to get it fixed asap. Guess I'll be driving just the BRAT until then

Having issue posting pics...but I'll get those up. If anyone else got some please share! I got some really good ones with the cars and the mountain.

AWESOME!

14 hours total from door to door for us and about 400 miles but TOTALLY worth it!

Fantastic weather, fantastic scenery, great cars, and great friends!

I was so jealous I didn't get to drive my SVX but I'm so glad my girls got to experience this day with me.

Thanks Erik for keeping Mark motivated through the planning stages and thanks to Mark (and Joy) for putting together a great drive and an incredibly creative scavenger hunt clue thingy.

Looking forward to some more madness from the "south northwest" crew!
