5 points if you can figure out where this is...

Being that I haven't been to the Nurburgring yet and being that I'll probably be in a rental car when I do go there someday, I figured it would be best to make up a local circuit. :-) I want to make this into a vinal sticker like other people do with famous tracks

So first let's see who can figure out where this is. I've driven this MANY times and I've lead many others on this drive as well. So Larry, Jason and Mitchel... you guys don't get to guess unless others are totally stuck

Here are your clues
1. The route is in Western Washington
2. The route is MANY times larger than the Nurburgring

If you do figure out where this is I encourage you to go drive it on a nice sunny day.

Nope, the Chuckanut would only be about as long at the top section above the ECC

Here's another hit. The total length is 115.5 miles

You can send my points to my PM box.
I was trying to figure this out, and finally I realized where is was and that I drove half of these this weekend.
BTW, you missed a fun bit up top here:

Cool, I think you've got it. I wasn't sure how hard it was going to be for someone to get.

Another hint for those who don't know, just where the arrow is above is a big lake you can drive around and there are even more great roads that continue up north.

I was going to add that to the circuit, but I really just threw this together in about 20 minutes and I couldn't remember the exact route further up north (I've only done that twice and I was the leader only once) Which side of that lake is the best to take?

I've only gone clockwise around the lake. It was a little slippery when I was led up there for the first time a few weeks ago, so I haven't gone back up yet.

Ya, I got caught in a freak snow storm up there. It happened to be the day after I got back from buying my M5 in San Diego. Not a fun way to introduce yourself to a car that is this throttle happy :-P

Yeah, my car may not have that kind of power, but it lacks abs/dsc/traction control. Snow is fun, but the frosty stuff scares me a little.

Ok, here it is for those who care


I did make one change at the bottom. Union Hill Rd has a few more curves than 202 at that part of the "track"
