There are a few stations along the way that suffice. Fill up on South hill prior to start and possibly a top off on the route………….no sweat.

Nice info! Bookmarked that :tup:

:tup:Nice link, discovered Sultan Basin road with that today. Went there via High Bridge Road to SR203 to Ben Howard Road into Sultan. Here's a map:
Directions to Sultan Basin Rd - Google Maps

The road wasn't the cleanest, there's several gravel spots where they appear to be repairing the road surface and haven't yet finished and I got rained on. Another fun road that doesn't require speed! There appears to be a turn-off that takes you back to Start-Up that I'm itching to check out now, would make a great loop, especially with the Alpen Drive-In burger joint in Start-Up that I always hit on the way home from snowboarding up at Stevens:driving:

Here's a couple pics, the full resolution pics are in my Flickr set: Saturday Drive 5-1-10 - a set on Flickr

How does Wednesday 6/16 work for everyone? The idea behind the midweek time is to avoid as many RVs as possible

Haven't been down it for quite a while but highway 12 from Yakima to Centralia (White Pass) was always a blast to drive (during the summer)

Yakima, WA to Centralia, WA - Google Maps

It's a drive, but it's sweet.

That is a good drive. The route I'm proposing above is about 260 miles of really curvy roads. It is a fairly exhausting day but epic in terms of drives to say the least.

Damn those pics make me homesick. Don't have trees like that here in central Tx ... at least not where I live :).

That works for me! Now I just got to remember to tell my boss....

I-5 ----------------> Vancouver

Anyone else going on the Z club drive tomorrow? I'll be there for sure and there's a convoy of 350s coming up from the southend.

Cant believe no one suggested the North Cascades highway, early morning mid week When I lived in Seattle i loved to take my Porshe on this road.

I won't be able to make that drive…weather looks okay for it though.
