Audi Club Northwest Mount St. Helens Tour, August 16th
Join Audi Club Northwest for a very special event. There are several options for you to participate at different levels and locations so read on for a description of each. Build an adventure for yourself. The club has a couple of set routes but if you want to make your own, make it happen!
Route 1: This is the route for those who want to participate in the event from the Seattle direction. This will be an all day tour from this area. We will start in Enumclaw at 9:00 am and take the group down the east side of Mount Rainier with a few stops along the way for pictures and breaks. This is an extremely beautifull drive with deep forests and incredible views along the way. From the east side of Mount Rainier we will turn south and drive along the east side of Mount St. Helens. The road down the east and south sides of Mount St. Helens is very windy and fun. We intend on making several stops for photos and breaks on the way down to our picnic at Lake Merwin.
Route 2: Portland area folks will drive east up the Columbia River Gorge to Carson, north to Northwoods and then west to Merwin Park at Lake Merwin. We still need a leader for this leg. The Portland tour would need to start sometime around 9:00 am to make it to Lake Merwin at the 1:00 pm picnic time.
Option 3: Just show up to the picnic however you choose to get there and eat up! You would have the option from here to follow the rest of the tour up to the Johnston Ridge Observatory Visitors Center on Mount St. Helens or head out for whatever adventure you want.
The picnic should occur about 1:00 pm at the Merwin Dam Park at Lake Merwin. We will have bbq chicken, salads, and other assorted foods available there. The price for the lunch is only $15 and it is optional. If you want to bring your own lunch you are welcome to do so. If you want the provided lunch you must make that selection as part of your registration.
After the picnic the group will head north then east to the Johnson Ridge Observatory Visitors Center on Mount St. Helens. There is an $8 fee to get into the visitors center. We plan on making it to this location by 4:00-4:30 pm to give us time to visit the center before it closes at 6:00 pm.
From the visitors center you will head home via whatever route you choose. Some of us will be staying down in that area so we don't have to make the trip back Sunday night. There will likely be an impromtu dinner somewhere in the area.
