salbrecher Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 1.Take a map and mesure the distance in miles 2.Estimate your driving speed in miles/hr and divide into the distance. 3.Add 1/2 hr for pit stops. Â The same procedure works to discover the time requiered to hike a given distance; although it is less accurate due to hills and what not.

Curvy, lots of lights and small towns on the small roads, traffic. I know how to estimate driving time smartass, I want a realistic picture of how long it will take. Â So why don't you test your theory coming back to seattle from levanworth on a sunday afternoon, then we'll see how accurate you are. Quote
DPS Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 3 1/2 hours. 2 1/2 to Tacoma, 1 more hour to Mowich lake. Depending on traffic and your tolerance for driving fast on a rutted out road. Quote
