Hey all . I'm in the early planning stages for a early morning meet (6:30 am ) then a backroad drive to the coast (leave at 7:15 am so there is less traffic ) and back then a afternoon meet back at my friends shop.
Here is what I know for sure
LOCATION - Apex Restoration 12225 Southwest Millikan Way | Beaverton, OR 97005
DRIVE - Backroads to Carlton then to Beaver,then to Sandlake loop,then to Tillamook,then to Miami-Foley rd to hwy 53 Camp 18 on hwy 26 for lunch then back to Apex Restoration to meet up with anybody who didn't want to wake up that early.

Times may change to later but I would like them to stay early to avoid traffic on some of the backroads.
More details to come

 

OK Heres the skinny
DRIVE - We will be leaving at 7:00 am and taking back roads from Beaverton to Newberg to Carlton to Beaver to Sandlake loop to Tillamook to Miami-Foley rd to Hwy 53 to Camp 18 on Hwy 26 back to Beaverton for a BBQ at Apex Restoration
STOPS ALONG THE DRIVE - We'll do pit stops in Carlton ,Beaver (good gas stop) ,Cape Lookout state park ,Tillamook Safeway (can't remember which gas station it is right by there) and Camp 18.
BBQ - I'm thinking right around 3pm at Apex Restoration which it will be B.Y.O.B. watch some in car footage of the drive,B.S. and look at each others cars and stuff.

I'm posting this on most of the Mazda forums I can think of and would love to see you all for the drive but I know it's a early one so at least come on out for the BBQ .l

 

I'd love to be there, but unfortunately I'll probably be at Bumbershoot that weekend

 

Damn I forgot about that. Well I know it's labor day weekend so that's why I did it on Saturday . Man I haven't been to Bumbershoot for at least 6 years. Used to go and get plowed. Oh well have fun

 

Count me in!

 

Full day or just the afternoon ?

 

Gotta do the drive! Full day for me.

 

NICE . Glad you'll be able to come. I'll get a list started ....

 

We are now going to end the drive at Corksport. They are having their annual BBQ that day and will have a mini Auto X and a bunch a free stuff. Heres the address
3315 NE 112th Ave B-80
Vancouver, Wa

I wanna go but I'll be in Las Vegas still.

I'm torn, I wanna do a drive, but it doesn't look like there is much interest. Corksport's event is from 10AM to 3PM according to their site, so if we return at 3 we'll miss it and I'm interested in making that too.

 

I'm going to alter the drive so we can make it there by 10 - 11 and yeah ther isn't much intrest so I'm giving this until the 31st

 

OK, keep us (or me) posted. If it doesn't pan out, see you at Corksport.

 

Man sorry folks but due to the lack of people who wanted to show up I'm going to call the drive off but I AM GOING TO CORKSPORT. Anybody in the Portland Metro area want to meet and drive up there ?
