break-in trip

i am just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas for routes to take for me to get some mileage on my new motor. i should have my car running well enough to drive within the next few days unless this crappy weather keeps up. but i wanted to see what anyone could come up with for trip ideas that are non free way miles so i can get some varying rpm's. im mainly lookin to stay in oregon but im open to suggestions. thanks

up the gorge on the washington side, you can drop over to 84 at a couple different spots if you need to hurry back...

How 'bout some route specifics or better yet some maps. Here's the route we did last fall for the RPNW Oregon Coast Rally. It's a Microsoft Streets and Trips document. If it doesn't come through or you don't have Microsoft Streets and Trips I believe it might be on the RPNW site.
