Will meet at the Shriner Peak Trailhead, ready to hike around 8:30am. 

From Enulclaw, drive 40 miles east on SR-410. At the fork continue straight onto SR-123 and drive 7.4 miles. Park in the pullout on the right. Cross the highway and walk ~80 yards southeast to the trailhead (2,400 ft).

I will be in a white Toyota Tacoma with a topper.

Good carpooling spot would be at the Enumclaw safeway, I'll most likely be stopping there to grab a coffee, snacks, etc.
