The overhead shot looks somewhat slow but there also seems to be some decent elevation changes. Should be a fairly fast track. They're breaking ground soon.  _________________

Somehow I thought this was going to be a joke about an orange Ranger.
Good to see somebody around here interested in a good track, and not just dealing with Pacific's bulls***.
The only problem I could see is going to be getting people in and out. 101 is not easy to get to from the North, and 3 is only two lanes, and it's backed up through Purdy as it is. |

That light in Purdy is already royally hosed. I'm interested in what washington comes up with to "fix" it.  |

They could spend their entire budget building a half-mile freeway for no good reason then stop completely, like they did out here...

BTW, if you do some quick math you will notice that they spent a little over one million dollars per tenth mile of road completed.  |

Taking highway 3 right from the end of 16 can save time at rush hour, but it's a ways out of the way.
That was the beauty part of working in Grapeview and living in Tacoma. You're opposite the traffic both ways.  |
