We are heading out to beacon rock Saturday for a fun day of twisty roads and great scenery.

We will meet at 9:45am at the Shell station right off I-5 in La Center, head down some fun roads and have lunch at the upper Beacon Rock park picnic area.

So far we have about 6.

I'll probably be heading to Hood River after to watch some of the Oregon Trail Rally.

 

Damnit I already commited to be an instructor at the Matt Ammon event at Bremerton. Have fun, it's a great section of road!

 

is this going to take the whole day?

 

No, we will be getting to beacon rock about ~1 in the afternoon and having lunch there. But you could go for whatever part of the drive you wanted and take off whenever.

A few of us will be heading to Mosier ( by hood river ) to watch the http://www.oregontrailrally.com/ afterwords, and anyone who wants to join us is welcome too.

 

I would love to go! Can someone PM me with more info on this? I'd love to know some more.

 

I'm planning on being there - don't leave without me
[sooo hard to wake up, esp. on the weekend..]

 

we are meeting at the shell station right off I-5 in La Center, ( about 10min north of vancouver )
on Saturday at 9:45.

We will wait a bit for everyone to show up, and get all the waivers signed, and turn directions passed out, then head out from there.

Should be getting to beacon rock about 1pm, where we will eat lunch.

Bring your own picnic lunch!

Also if you have a hand held 2way radio, bring that!

 

pm'd

 

I could come on my FZ1 maybe. Any complaints?

 

Going

 

Sure, I'm driving my M3, and i'll either lead, or take up the rear, to keep all rotarys together.

 

I'm not sure if I want to do this or not. It's a very far out of the way trip for me, I live in Camas... I'm a straight shot right to beacon rock... haha

But I wanna go on the cruise. We will see how I feel about it later tonight... haha

 

This is the route we are taking.

Yeah I know, I saw... that's exactly why I'm not sure... lol, it's way out of the way, but it should be fun. I'm debating. haha

 

I wish I could go! Gotta work. Beside I've yet to take the FD out of storage.
See you guys at the annual beach cruise with RPNW this September.

 

Afgmoto and I are sitting here @ beacon rock...

We showed up 4 minutes late, didn't see anybody.

Drove a a pretty solid pace to couger (we would have caught up...)

Nothing, so we thought maybe you guys got a late start and we didn't see you.

Figured we meet up with you @ beacon rock, it's now 1:00

 

It 1 pm and we are at beacon rck, just got finished doing the run and didn't see anyone.

 

We met up with you eventually. We just got sidetracked... haha

I took a ton of pics, will be getting them up on here sometime in the next bit hopefully.

It was great meeting everyone.

 

Here are some of the pics, shrunken down. If anyone would like a larger version of one of these, send me a PM and I can email them to you.

 

 

I had a great time today, it was nice to meet all of you.

 

Great turn out, perfect weather and minimal traffic. Thanks Matt for organizing the route!!! That was one of the best drive's I've done since coming out to OR. I think we might have to do it again next month.

 

haha I love how my car in that 2nd shot is like a ninja, hiding behind the bushes.

 

Well, sounds like you all had a great time. Sorry I missed it. I did the Cascade Loop on my bike...got into a game of cat and mouse with a Corvette....140+. It was crazy.
