Larch isnt that far out. Maybe its just me :) its about 30 min from downtown and the larch drive can be had in anywhere from 10-25 min dep upon if you follow speed limits. It begins at crown point. I'm heading up there tonight. I'll check snow and mileage etc.

Thanks much, get back to me as soon as you get back!

okay okay. it was roughly an hour from downtown. I guess I just like the drive too much, but it doesnt seem like it. Crown point is only like 18 miles from the I-84 and I-205 junction. Which isn't a bad drive anyhoo. Larch Mt is just 14 miles further on the backroad. If you bypass troutdale and go to corbett on 84 itd be about 40 minutes. I just like the backroads from corbett into troutdale then jumping on 84. Just an idea guys :)

Took a couple shots of my ride at Crown Point at sunset. Enjoy...

Oh and by the way... No snow anywhere in site, it was about 15 degrees cooler at the top. No moisture in sight however. I will drive it that night even if ya'll are pussies! :)

COOL! we will go ahead and go to larch mt. after eating lunch, if anyone doesnt want to, at least e30groupie and i will!

I don't think it should effect anyone's schedule because it is on a sunday.

I dunno what kind of shots you could get at Larch, I know mine were at crown. Larch is just for the drive, and you can walk a ways for a view. My sig was at Coucil crest. I just like drivin I guess :)

Council Crest Park
SW Council Crest Dr
Portland, OR 97201

Vista House at Crown Point State Park
40700 E Historic Columbia River Hwy

?? on the city name ?? Corbett ?

Cant find one for larch, it is essentially 14 mi from crown Pt

guys, I know how to get to council crest, Im currently sitting about 2 minutes away at my parents house. I think July 1st is a little early, I know my swap wont be done by then and tonys might not either. :p

Word. I just found out that the park is less than three miles from my place.

Lunch = NW 23rd Ave - they have a shitload of restaurants. Escape From New York Pizza is my vote. Best pizza in Portland and it's cheap (by the slice).

I can probably be there July 1st, but would it be at all possible to move the date back?

Ken your'e too in the "in" some place casual i vote, maybe like McD's or somethign haha, plus parking on 23rd no matter when sucks especially for a group.

LOL, there's no McDs up there. But yeah, places in the middle of 23rd there can be a bitch to park around.

But I've got a better place:

The Lucky Lab on 20th and Quimby - TONS of parking, great food, and less than three miles from the park. Actually a bunch of BMW guys meet there twice a month to hang out.

I have no prob pushing it back if you're willing to drive all the way up.
