American Touge cruise WallaWalla, Tri-Cities

Hey, just throwing this idea up in the air to see what people think. But it would be a super fun cruise with probably the most curvacious road in America (or at least to my knowledge) only thing is it'll be a long cruise, 300+miles. Probably start in Pendleton, OR from take 84 to Lagrande, and then 82 to Enterprise probably have lunch there (I have friends and family up there so could probably arrange for a BBQ at the lake or something) after lunch would jump onto 3 to Lewiston ID and that is where the real fun begins, that road has everything from hairpins to uphill and downhill including a little diner at the bottom which may be a lunch possibility. Once we get to Lewiston we could hang out, have a little meet somewhere, maybe at the mall, and then hop onto 12, which will lead straight to Walla Walla or the Tri-Cities. Me and a friend are doing this regardless because we love this road , it's perfect for our near 50/50 weight. So if anyone else has an entire day to spare (and a couple tanks of gas ) Let me know and we can try to schedule it for everybody. Also if you want a taste of the road go to google maps and zip code 97828 to 83501 and you can kinda see, but that map does not do it justice

Any road with curves sounds fun to me!

When do you think this would take place? My 7 should be road worthy in another month and I would totally be down.

Let us know!

It'll probably be on a Sunday, that seems to be the day most people have off. And probably the beginning or end of spring break, I'm going to have to keep checking the road cause during the winter they gravel the **** out of it, so we're gonna want all that to clear up. It should be a blast, I got 4 other guys from RX8club that will be joining us (I also have a friend with a Honda S2K that wants to go, so I may let him, even though that blows the whole rotary thing, we'll just make him take the rear) I'll keep you guys updated as far as road conditions are concerned and plan from there.

You can add me to the maybe list. I like a spirited Sunday drive, but a nine hour loop might be a bit much for this old man. lol

Well I got good news it's only about a 6hour loop... of course this doesn't take into account lunch and just hanging out and bullshitting that we might do.

That's messed up... why would a girl subject herself to a guy that could cheat on her with his own sister? Sorry 'bout your luck man, driving this ****'s a great stress reliever though

Maybe... looks fun but it's pretty far from me. Sunday is definitely best.

yeah, Seattle is about 3.5 4 hours from here I think... but hey it'd be worth it (better than the reason I go to Seattle once a year)

That would conflict with the meet at Doug's Lynnwood Mazda... probably only matters to me since this is in the eastern half of the state.
