Try the Cowlitz. Its probably closer to 3 hours depending on traffic from where your at. A buddy of mine couldnt stand it any longer and made the treck down last week and came back with a 20# Springer. The Lewis and Kalama are in that area too. Take a long weekend and have fun...Thinkin of doing it myself in the next couple weeks.

June 1 seems soooo far away
