I was thinking about a cruise late September to Mount Rainer with maybe a picnic type lunch and maybe there be a start to fall color to the tree's. Any Idea's?

So, right now is to make this on the 2nd of September and trying to decide the best meeting place? Please help me on this idea.

We could have lunch at the Jackson Visitor Center Cafeteria.

Ladybugsmom · 08-06-2012, 09:25 PM

Or we could all bring picnic items, potluck-style...

camarossowner · 08-06-2012, 09:26 PM

Meeting place will be at Tacoma Mall @ Krispy Kream. At 9 am.

TravisTrout · 08-06-2012, 09:27 PM

Cool, that's right down the street.

camarossowner · 08-06-2012, 09:28 PM

I was thinking about that too but trying to keep things cold in a hot truck. It's all up for a vote among the ones that want to go.

I agree, pot luck sounds good, but keeping things cool maybe an issue. Plus, I don't allow food in the ride!

Steve Dallas · 08-06-2012, 11:29 PM

Even though I don't have a Camaro, I may tag along and take come pictures. I -think- I have that weekend free.

With envy · 08-06-2012, 11:47 PM

Can you pick us up along the way? Since we're halfway there anyway...

Ladybugsmom · 08-07-2012, 12:00 AM

Gary, it's a drive to Paradise, not Sunrise... You can come to my house and meet up, though! I'll have coffee on.

keving2873 · 08-07-2012, 12:32 AM

I will see what our calendar looks like. If time is open we might come.

With envy · 08-07-2012, 12:57 AM

So is that the route down through Morton and Randle?

zztopo · 08-07-2012, 02:19 AM

I going to pursue this. I loves a picnic

, but the summer temps may still be with us. It'll be a far drive for me, but I need to get some miles on the odom for further break-in; I should have my new cam in too

.

The only reason I may not go is because my dad's time may come :(. He's 91 but I still don't want him to go.
