Just like last trip.
THURSDAY MORNING
Andy, Phil, and I will roll out of Kent around 10:00.
Head south on 167 and scoop up Eli at Pacific.
Try to meet up with Joni near Tacoma somewhere around 10:30.
Head south on 5 and take Exit 109 (Lacey) between 10:45 and 11:00. Get off and back on the freeway and hopefully Jason and family, James and anyone else will be there waiting. We will call ahead (Cell phone to James) when we pass Ft Lewis to give a heads up that we're coming. Jason, since you are coming from Yelm, plan on being in Lacey between 10:30 and 10:45. Maybe you and James can hook up before we get there? There's a Denny's right there at 109. Maybe you can get there early and have breakfast?
We will be rolling off and right back on the freeway with multiple vehicles. Best to be fueled up and ready to roll.
Phil and I discussed 2 stops near the border...
First one in Vancouver for fuel (cheaper and it's SELF SERVE!).
The Second is across the Columbia at Janssen Beach (MLK Blvd Exit) to get to GI Joes for permits.

I believe this is also a great place for anyone in the Portland area to hook up that wants to travel with the group (Between 1:00 and 1:30)
As with any Group traveling, it's important for everyone to do your best to stay on time. We would like to try and get to camp at a decent time so dallying is not something we want to do.
:woohoo: Getting close!! Everyone bring a shovel or 2 (loan one to someone).
