SOV211 reminds us:
OK, there are lots of members in the NW US and SW of Canada here now - how many of you/us will be at Jaguars on the Island in Victoria BC (July 25-27?) - this is the largest Jaguar show in North America. Details at Jaguar Car Club of Victoria - HOME . If you haven't been to Victoria yet,...

I stay off the road Independence Day weekend, so not the 5th-6th. I think I can make the 12th-13th. I cannot do the 19th-20th. nor Sun. the 27th, but am probably OK Sat. the 26th. I hope I don't have to miss this 2 years in a row after participating in the inaugural in 2012 (on the infamous "goat track!").

In truth, this is the 3rd Annual St Helens Drive, of which you and I have judiciously attended the first two! This year is the eastern (Windy Ridge) entrance.
Can't promise no goat paths on this one either as I cater to the majority..... (Which when it comes to Jag owners will probably mean no goat paths..... sigh...)
The route will begin early in Enumclaw, and traverse Cayuse Pass (410/123) to Hwy 12.
We will head into the mountain at Randle, where I would hope to pick up any folk coming up from the Portland area.

So here is a rough itinerary, leading to one question about departure time from Enumclaw. 8AM or 9AM?
A 8AM departure (folks tend to get a tad grumpy) puts lunch closer to noon, and a parting dinner around 5:30.
I feel 8AM works the clock better, but I will defer to the majority.
Thoughts?
- The drive from Enumclaw to the lunch area on the mountain is 4 hours, which includes many stops for vistas and photo-ops along the way.
- I would like to allow 2 hours on the mountain for lunch and basic exploring.
- The return drive via Morton and Elbe is 3.5 hour with basic stops.
- Parting dinner in Tacoma

I'll be there whatever time is decided, but can't help but ask why when we start from Monroe, Lynnwood, Kingston, or other somewhat northern locations it is usually 9AM, but when it is way the xxxx south like Enumclaw or Tacoma it's 8. Makes for a killer day when you have to start driving by 6AM or earlier.
Yeah, I was there last year, guess I was thinking of a different drive I had to miss. Every drive is good, love them all. I will have the Jag with me in Yakima the 18th-20th for meetings I have to attend. I should be done there about noon Sunday, so if the majority votes for that day I may be able to meet you for the drive home from Mt. St. Helens. Would prefer the 12th, 13th, or 26th.

Also 9AM in Monroe put us in Leavenworth at noon, and eating dinner at XXX by 6 or 7 in Issiquah.
8AM in Tacoma put us in Long Beach (and Astoria the year before) at 12:30
If others want a 9AM launch for a 1PM lunch and 6:30 Dinner then by all means say so! I'll do it! I want the group as a whole to have a great day!

Just began ownership of a 1988 XJS H & E V-12 Lister 62,000 miles on it. I am not real good with etequite, so correct me if necessary. The vehicleis beautiful, but has fuel tank vent problems, anyone know the best dealership to have this remedied, as I understand it to be a recall without owner or mileage/time limitations?
