directions to adams from the north

I'm planning on heading down to adams tonight from seattle, but am keen to avoid I-5 down to portland - does anyne have a good route to get to adams (cold springs side) from the north?<br><br>thanks,<br>Eli

Yup. Take FR23 our of Randle. It is a good dirt road and saves alot of hassle with I-5. Randle is SE of Mt Rainier (hang a right in Elbe).<br>

Like JCK mentioned take the first right out of Elbe.  From here its 17 miles to Morton.  At Morton take left onto 12 and go another 17 miles to Randle.  At Randle take right at the light.  There will be signs posted so you can't miss it.  From here its a nice paved road except for one short 11 mile washboard section.  Just make sure to spy for the FS-23 sign after each turn off.  For me it saves 100 plus miles.<br><br>BTW watch out for bambi and co!<br><br>CHECK YOUR PM!
