TDIFest Portland, drive up to Seatle, take a cruise to Cabo and back. could be fun times.

That's a good possibility, the question is can I do it in the 2 days I have to get from Clovis to Portland with my mother and sister in the car with me.cmitchell said:
Take I5 if time is limited. From SF to Portland is a good 10-12 hours, with stops. The coast is great (done it), but allow two days due to traffic and stops for veiwing.TheGrove said:
That was my concern. My map has it at about 770 miles, which if I was going myself would be about 12 hours, but with my mother will be closer to 14 for the extra stops. So I figured to divide it into 2 7-8 hour days on I-5.whatnxt said:
If you drive all the way from Pennsylvania & don't see the redwoods and the Oregon coast it would be a shame... especially of you're driving up I-5 to save time. It would be like going to Buffalo and not bothering to go to Niagara Falls... or driving to Flagstaff & not bothering to go to the Grand Canyon. You get the idea! The Oregon coast offers some of the most (perhaps THE most) scenic coastline in the USA. You won't be sorry you spent a little extra time.whatnxt said:
Good points, fortunately this isn't the 1st time i've been out that way as my mom's family is from Fresno so I have relatives from San Bernadino all the way to Walla Walla. But I still need to take 101 up that part of the coast.cmitchell said:
No wormhole either.KROUT said:
! Isn't there a dragstrip in Woodburn? Maybe a Saturday morning event there?
Woodburn is already in the works. Just have the details to sort out.zardnarf said:Too bad about PIR being booked, I'd love to see Fixum Rich's NB burn some rubber. Any idea where the event will be held? I don't imagine that the city would like the potential hundreds of VWs parked at and around the Fix Um Haus
With regards to Mountain Biking, I've ridden MRT and I think the North Umpqua River Trail East of Roseburg is hard to beat. Fun riding and beautiful scenery. Much funner than MRT in my book:tdijim said:If you're heading West through the Columbia Gorge on your way to the Fest in September...Multnomah Falls is right on the highway. It is about 20 minutes east of Troutdale, Oregon. It's free, it's 630 ft. high and you'll be glad you stopped and enjoyed it.
What to do in Portland? Go to the Baghdad Theater, buy your calzone, take it in and watch the movie while you enjoy your dinner and the marvelous old Art Deco building. Google it.
Coming up from CA?...cut over to the coast from Eugene, OR. Head North and catch Haceta Head Lighthouse, Little Whale Cove (bring your camera), The Devil's Elbow, The Devil's Hot Tub, Cape Perpetua, and then head back over to I-5 when you get up above Lincoln City. It's all good. Give them a Google, too. Oh, yeah...if you mountain bike, YouTube the Mackenzie River Trail. It is up the mountain East of Eugene and probably beats all the other things I listed put together.
We're looking forward to seeing you in September.
