Just wanted to say hello and thank you to everyone on the boards for making my wait for my R60 even more exciting. The passion on this site has me thinking about my next mini before taking ownership of my first.

A run up to Paradise would be a lot of fun in a MINI. There are plenty of twisties going up Mt. Ranier.

Closer to you, Chiv3 On is a fun section along Orville Rd E in the Ohop Valley, starting from Osceola at the head of the Orting Valley along the Carbon River, past Lake Kapowsin, and terminating almost in Eatonville. Alternatively, head the opposite direction starting from the southern end of Ohop and instead of going to Orting, take a right at Osceola toward Buckley and just follow around toward Carbonado. Cheers!
