Okey doke, here's some stats:

Should take me about 45 minutes to get there from my place near exit 9 on I-5.

Did a search on MapQuest, looks like there's about 6 restaurants right near exit 49 there: C&L Burger Bar, Papa Pete's Pizza, Subway, Burger King, Coffee Cabin, and El Compadre  Restaurant.  I remember going past the BK for sure, it's right on the north side of the road after you get off the freeway.

As far as gas, there's a couple stations (Texaco, Shell, etc) right near the freeway, and one that's a little cheaper about a mile or so up the road, if I remember correctly. Undecided  For all the Savages (and me as well!) I definitely recommend topping off in Castle Rock, because it shows it as being around around 100 miles round trip.  It shows a couple stations in Kid Valley, part way up there, but can't remember if they're actually still open or not. Huh  If anyone thinks they'll need it, I've got a gallon gas can I can strap on, let me know if anyone thinks it's needed.

Ok a decision has been made. I will be staying at the BEST WESTERN PLUS Plaza by the Green! in Kent. Should be forty five to an hour to get to Olympia. I am thinking we need to set the times. I prefer to get an early start. Votes.

I just drove up st helens on a car trip with some friends who have never seen the volcano. Nice day! I ran in to snow(none on the roads) near the top. Not much but traces here and there. Be sure and bring a coat also! Castle rock is the last stop for gas! Everything else is closed, or was when we passed by. Are we meeting at Castle rock? And what time?

Ok, Dj and I are meeting in Olympia, 9:30 a.m..
Should be back on the road no later than 9:45..
Looking to be in Castle Rock about noon, possibly
few mins before, depending on traffic.
Gas up, lunch if you guys are up to it, then ride to the
top of the mountain.
We can stop here and there for pics..
Also Dj may want to stop at the observatory and see
some of the exhibits. Also a great place for a rest and
has bathroom facilities..
Weather again should be around 80 and sunshine...

Oldfella, get ready to rumble.... Grin Grin kim

Got the bike washed up.  I didn't forget what day it was, but may ride over to Portland Raceway tomorrow for the drag races.

Got a welcome addition to the bike in the mail today which will make Thursdays venture much sweeter: my Mustang seat w/backrest!
After riding it around town, I don't know why I didn't do that a year ago. Roll Eyes  It's more comfy than my dang LaZboy now. Grin
