Feeler, "The Good Bye PNW Summer, BMW Drive :D

[AbeSonic]

Hey guys whats up? I've been toying around with the idea of having one last good meet before the summer is over and I thought, why not have a drive of some sort? Today at work I had to drive from Vancouver WA, to The Dalles OR. I ended up driving up the Hwy 14 all the way up with decent weather and all I could think to myself was "My God, what gorgeous scenery and fun roads!" so an idea started forming lol

So far I have the route planned.

Now, my question to you guys and girls would be... How many of you would actually be down for doing this, as soon as this Sunday 9/28 or next Sunday 10/5?

I was thinking maybe we have breakfast at Elmer's or something before we head out, have lunch in Hood River, then our final stop would be at Multnomah Falls.

Discuss....

I've always wanted to take a trip along that exact route! Too bad I cant make it... this time. Hope someone snaps some pics!

HWY 14 sucks, boring and trucks, stall its still a heavily traveled road. But my opinion doesn't count cause my baby isn't drivable. Btw if you're thinking of doing that route, still, take the Corbett exit which takes you through Crown Point, its way more fun and more twisties.

There was a cruise on this same route not loo long ago, except everybody dipped out from hood river after lunch.

I thought it was a great drive, if we take 84 to multnomah falls on the way back, we can take the historic hwy to crown, stop for some photos(if it's not too crowded) and part ways from there.

I'm in(probably taking the e28 though)
