I'm going to try to make it. I have a family reunion at my moms cabin down near Kelso, so I'll be driving from there if I go. I'll grab some sort of snack on my way. What time do you guys plan to be at Paradise? Are the guys from down south meeting up to drive in a group?

Not sure if anyone from the dirty south has coordinated a group to head north together. Might be a good idea.

If you guys do go as a group, stop at the Shell station just off I-5 in Kelso and pick me up. I usually go I-5 to Hwy 12 to Morton, then cut over to Elbe and on into the Mt. Rainier Park. It's a pretty fun drive!

Since we dont officially have a club technically it should be OK!

Oh... looks good, but can we pass the "20 cobalts at one time" mark??? So close... My bad... Ponties and Calvs count too... sorry for leaving you out in the first sentance. Coarse, my car could be special. Somebody swipped the "T" off my car's name tag on the trunk. So now, I am the only ''Cobal" I know. I'll move the LS closer to the left! I have the only chevy COBALLS out there!" HA!

I was going to try and scope it out myself, am hoping to find a nice BBQ park area that we can fit in at.

If you have any ideas from your visit please feel free to share.

We should meet up at the picnic area, or as close as we can get. I checked the website and the picnic area at Paradise is open. I say we meet up there and do our thing (eat, drink, B.S. and check out what's open). We should then cruise over to Sunrise (N.E. corner). Sunrise is the highest point in the park that you can drive to and it's usually fairly empty because everyone goes over to Paradise. At Sunrise we should have a lot of parking lot for us to get some good pics and it is an awesome cruise from Paradise. Here's the official Mt. Rainier Park website for everyone to look at maps and check out what's open. When you pay your park entry fee you will get a map.
