Here's the info:
May 29th is memorial day week end. Would it be ok to do the drive then? I figure a 10:00AM show time @ Star lake park and ride, with a 10:30 leave time. Here is the link for the drive that starts at star lake, to Enumclaw (short stop for coffie and rest rooms.), to Eatonville (lunch @ Truly Scrumptious Cafe Bakery.), Yelm, Rochester (short break rest rooms/gas.), across Capital forest (Mima Mounds area) and on to Olympia Priest Piont. Good local places to eat and dine in Olympia.

The drive itself takes around 4-5 hrs.

(Local bake shops, coffie, etc).
From Enumclaw will head to Eatonville.

From Eatonville will go to Yelm and on to Rochester to regroup @ Hwy Diner on the left(15 min).
From there will got to Priest Pt. Park for the end of drive. (Note that when on 4th ave. and turning left onto E. Bay dr. N.E. (actually Plum St. S.E) Use South entrance and meet by Rose Garden if possible, more parking on other side of bridge.
I've made a resevation at Fish Tale Brew and Pub if anyone wishes to join after Priest point. To get there is just two blocks down from 4th on Legion way S.E. and Jefferson st. S.E.
