The portion of 2-lane heading north between Napavine & Grand Mound is enraging, especially on Sunday summer afternoons, have had to save time by getting off on Labree and rejoining I5 at the outlets more times than I can count.

My usual place to stop was at Cowlitz Crossing north of Ridgefield, the gas was too expensive, especially one supposedly on native land, but they contracted with a great chicken tender vendor at least. Recently, my goto has been that Space Age around Castle Rock, low gas prices, a Krispy Krunchy Chicken, AND an A&W for me to get my fried cheese curd fix? Amazing.

Also, I think I got pulled over by that Marysville/Everett area trooper you mentioned this past November for 71 in a 60, thankfully I think he got bored waiting for me to fumble for my proof of insurance and let me off with a warning.
