well everyone is mentioning July 23rd, but the real info that needs to be set is the starting location for the puget sound TRS members to gather at & then head south to Lacey to meet up with Justin.
I would say lets meet in the Large McDonald's / park n ride area at the end of WA512 & I-5 interchange
McDonald's 10417 PACIFIC HWY SW, TACOMA WA 98499
around 10am,leave by 10:30 to meet up with Justin at Walmart in Lacey & then set up other locations to meet up with other TRS members or RBV's head south along the way & the final dipping location needs to be set in stone.
I was involved in another forum years back pertaining to a car forum & had a gathering of over 30 vehicles that came from Canada & WA to meet up for a showing of cars & a pizza party at the final destination.
It all takes a lot of planning & with out it this wont be happening.
Is this 38th Pl entrance the one by the Hewitt House light house on the Long Beach Peninsula?
If so then here's some info.
Driving Directions to Hewitt House
Seaview is located on the SW shoreline of Washington State on the Long Beach Peninsula. It is approximately a 3.0 hour drive from Seattle, WA and 2.5 hours from Portland, OR and is a popular vacation destination on the West Coast.
FROM SEATTLE: there are several options as to how to get to Seaview. You can travel south on I-5 and then west on either 8, 6 or 4, all of which will end up connecting with 101 south which will lead you to the Peninsula (see upper right map above).
Traveling west on Highway 101 you will come to a “T” and a blinking red light (see lower map). Turn left (south) on Pacific Highway. Approximately 1 block turn right (west) on 38th Street (38th Str. becomes 38th Place), which is the Seaview ocean approach road, for 3 blocks and look for the Hewitt House sign on the NW corner of the intersection of 38th Place and "J" Place. Turn right (north) on “J” Place. Hewitt House is 1/2 block on the right.
FROM PORTLAND: take Hwy 26 to 101 (Canon Beach / Seaside) and head north to Astoria. Just prior to Astoria you will go over the Young’s Bay Bridge and through a “round-about” before turning left to take the Astoria/Megler Bridge and cross over the Columbia River to Washington. It’s about 2 hours from Portland to Astoria. An alternative route from Portland to Astoria is to take Hwy 30 which parallels the Columbia River. At the Washington end of the Astoria Bridge take a left (west) on Hwy 101. Continue west through the town of Chinook. About three miles past Chinook there will be a road on the right with a sign that reads - 101 “Alternate.” Take this right (north). You will come to a “T” and a stop sign; turn left (west – see map) and you will be heading to Long Beach and you are on Hwy 101 again. I’s just a little over 12 miles from the Washington end of the Astoria/Megler Bridge to Hewitt House and takes about 15 minutes. Traveling west on Highway 101 you will come to a “T” and a blinking red light. Turn left (south) on Pacific Highway. Approximately 1 block turn right (west) on 38th Street (38th Str. becomes 38th Place), which is the Seaview ocean approach road, for 3 blocks and look for the Hewitt House sign on the NW corner of the intersection of 38th Place and "J" Place. Turn right (north) on “J” Place. Hewitt House is 1/2 block on the right.

according to the maps & my girlfriend she believes that headed down to Longview & then head NW on Hwy 4 would actually be the best roads & probably the quickest as its mostly I-5.
This route we can actually gather more RBV @ larger location.
If we set a 30 minute lay over at each location before headed to the next location would work out great. 30 minutes may actually be to long,maybe 15 minutes would work out better for all locations except the initial starting point in Tacoma/Lakewood area
The Walmart in Lacey/Tumwater is the location we should meet up with Justin.
Your estimated travel time is 27.67 min for 25.59 miles of travel from McDonald's to Tumwater's Walmart
Tumwater Walmart Store #3
5900 Littlerock Rd Sw
Tumwater, WA 98512
From there we could travel South on I-5 & meet up with any other RBV / TRS members at the Walmart in Chehalis.
Your estimated travel time is 24.67 min for 23.70 miles of travel
That Walmart is
Supercenter Store #2249
1601 Nw Louisiana Ave
Chehalis, WA 98532
And then from there we can continue to travel South to meet anyone coming up from the south @
Your estimated travel time is 42.32 min for 45.53 miles of travel
Longview Walmart Store #2469
540 7Th Ave
Longview, WA 98632
At this point we should of traveled & stopped for 30 minute lay over's to make the total travel time @ approximately 3 hrs. 10 min.
From there it sounds as though Hahnsb2 knows the way ,so we could then get onto Hwy 4 & follow him to the Pacific Ocean.
It should take approximately another 67 miles & 1 hr & 30 min. before getting to the Ocean. If my math, searching & calculations are correct we should be to the Pacific Ocean by 3pm
We could be there sooner if we make the lay overs be only 15 minutes which would shave 1 hr off of the travel & stopping from Tacoma to The Pacific Ocean.
