Saturday morning was sunny and very pleasant when we met up for our departure.






Steve does some last minute touch-up to his very clean BB:




Two very classy blue cars:






And, we are off for our drive:




Heading out Hwy. 47 and 202:






At Jewell we make a pit-stop:








Something we don’t see often – three GPW’s side-by-side:




Then it is off to enjoy the twisties over the pass:




Some sections are a little "rough":








How many of you noticed the two deer (one spotted!) at the stop sign just before the roundabout?:




We head up over the bridge:




Larry and Aaron's group arrive at Dismal Nitch where we wait for Doug and Amy's teams:






Doug's team arrives:








Followed by Amy's:






Then the usual socializing:






Doug leads all four groups out of Dismal Nitch:




And we head down a very busy Hwy. 101:




Exiting the tunnel afer making (ahem...) a bit of noise:



And continuing on:




At Nehalem Beach State Park we make our final pit-stop:










Amy leads us on our final stretch:






A string of 24 S2000s was pretty impressive as we made our way south:







One of the many traffic frustrations of the day - The big Garibaldi Days Festival which put a major crimp in our schedule:




Finally we get to the beach:






And set up for an enjoyable afternoon of hot dogs, S'mores and comaraderie:






Dave even gets a well-deserved backrub from Janice after a grueling day of driving:




Thanks to all who attended and making this one of our nicest drives.

Welcome to Jim and Deb - we hope to see you again!

See you next month for our big McKenzie Pass Drive: Here!

Home!

Dont really have many pics to share. I'll post em up tomorrow.

Today seemed to have a theme of people driving way over the yellow line. I followed a guy in a truck hauling a big trailer down from Hoodoo and on one corner he was over the yellow COMPLETELY. Totally new lane.

 

Glad you made it back safely, and I wanted to say a special Thanks to whoever said to watch for cops comming down the big hill in forest grove Don't remember who said it. We crested the hill I slowed down and let a minivan and a kia pass me and sure enough there was a cop with radar hiding on the side of the road looking up the hill.

Funny/BS part I was doing the speed limit 55 and both cars that passed me were doing over 70 and he didn't pull them over, but I'd bet a million if I was the one going over 70 he would have pulled me over in a heartbeat.
