I'd suggest a 2 hour drive, we leave Auburn or Kent at 11, stop at a drive-in about 12 and get to Nate's about 1. The back roads don't start until Auburn, so if we meet in Kent or Renton, its a short drive down 167 to Auburn.
Here's the route I'm thinking of:

Darren, if you can take a break from framing, I have an open co-pilot seat.
What do you guys think? Any want to go?
