Portland Area Caravan to Mt. St. Helen's
 

Date:
Saturday, July 23rd

Time:
Meet @ 7:35AM
Leave @ 7:45AM

Location:
TBD. Bridgeport Village? (I-5 at exit 290). In front of the "McCormick & Schmit's (M&S Grill)" restaurant is probably the easiest.

Or perhaps somewhere near the Rose Garden right off of I-5. I can't really think of a good on/off exit to use though.

LMAO. I live and work so close to there it's too funny.

That works for me but since it's south of Portland, if we get more PDX folks to come they might complain that they have to drive south 10 miles.

I'm OK with it...let me see what others have to say. No complaints by tomorrow then let's do that.

Whats the meet for? drifting? crusing? Racing? or just chilling? im in Gresham OR and Sing me up, email me with an answer to olegzracer@yahoo.com

We're just going to meet up, chat, and cruise around the twisties in the area.

A better "meeting place" might be the rest area just north of Battleground on I-5. It is just north of the exit for 179th (Clark County fairgrounds and amphitheater).

That would be about 10 miles north of the Interstate bridge...

Yeah, that would be better now that we have someone from SE and someone from Gresham.

You're racing that weekend and can't make it right?

Yes, the Packwood NT is that weekend, so I'll be going up against probably the cream of the national RX-8 drivers, not to mention the "Bauer effect" (or Stephen, for that matter) in Stephen's 968.

Also, the rest area is a good half-hour farther north, so you could probably leave there around 8:15-8:30 or so (it is north of the start of the 70 MPH speed zone).

Ah, cool. Thanks for the tips and good luck!

ok yes, my parents and I will meet at the the tigard location, and maby we can all zwing by the rest area north to pickup more Z's...as stated ubove.

You guys mind if I tag along in my scruffy old '90 na? If it's cool, since I live in Vancouver, I'll meet you at the Gee Creek rest area described in a post above. Any idea when you'll roll through?

You're absolutely welcome to join us! I'll have the finalized plans posted here by Wed/Thurs.

I think we might skip the Tigard location and just do the Rest Area in WA. I'd still like to meet there around 7:45AM though. I'll see what the SE and N PDX drivers have to say about coming down to Tigard.

7:45's fine. I'll be watching for your post.
Thanks
Dan

MaximZ-
I thought this was decided. I told several people about meeting at Bridgeport.
I'd hate for them to show up at an empty parking lot. What's the latest?

Bruce

Here Is The Plan!
 

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. We're still on for Bridgeport. Everybody but 1 person wants to meet there.

greydog - If you want to give me your cell # I can give you a call when we leave Bridgeport. We can then stop by the rest area to grab you. Should be around 15 minutes later.



THE LOW-DOWN:

* Arrive at Bridgeport Village @ 7:30AM. Park in front of the McCormick & Schmit's Grill.

* Leave promptly at 7:45AM. If you can't make it here in time, just go straight to the Rest Area.

* Stop at the first Rest Area in WA to pick up additional Z's approx 8:00AM. Leave immediately.

Godzilla - I tried to call you back at the # you left and it was a wrong number. Shoot me an email or send a PM!

Dang it!! I just found out I'm gonna be in Hood River Saturday. My grandson's getting a different Karate belt.
You guys should have a great time. The weather's gonna be beautiful.
Dan

Hummm, I think my GF is out of town this weekend... Nobody knows me but Bruce, but I may just hit that rest stop.

Well, I know Bruce too so we have that in common. Join us!

Looks like I can make it after all (yipeee).
Maxim-my cell # is 360 608 3003 if you want to call but I'll be at the Gee Creek rest stop waiting in the upper area by the rest rooms. I have a charcoal '90 na coupe.
