Need input about Van Dusen trip up Friday May 18th

[Walt & Zoe Harrison]

Wait, I just realized my times were off, it is only a four
hour drive, not five.  Leaving SouthCenter @ 10:00 AM
would get us to Richmond, BC too early in the afternoon,
about 1:00-ish.

That seems way too early, so what about leaving SouthCenter
@ 12:00 noon, getting us into Richmond about 3:00 PM, still
before the rush hour, and gives us some time to cross the border.

I figure the miles and times as follows:
    1. Leave SoutherCenter @ 12:00 noon
    2. Rendezvous at Smokey Point @ 1:00 PM, ~50 miles
        Leave Smokey Point @ 1:15 PM
    3. Canadian border @ 2:30 PM, ~70 miles
    4. Arrive Abercorn Inn in Richmond about 3:00 PM, ~25 miles

Is this a better schedule?

Walt

All,

Unfortunately, Zoe will be out-of-town that weekend.
I'm still going to VanDusen, and have an empty seat.

My plan is to drive up Friday, leaving Olympia in the AM.
It is ~200 miles from Olympia, so I figure about 5 hours.
Meeting @ SouthCenter @ 10:00 AM would be good,
mid-day should miss some of the rush hour traffic.

What time works for a rendezvous @ Smokey Point?

Walt
