postponed: Saturday Morning Gorge Scenic Drive
 
So I'm itching for a nice drive! I know @Jonesy86 just posted his Lyle to Goldendale route, but I've been thinking of doing this gorge drive for some time now. Was simply waiting for some good weather.

Here's a google map of my intended route:

It includes the Lyle to Goldendale route, but also tacks on a pit stop at the Stonehenge Memorial, another pit stop at the Rowena Crest Viewpoint via the Rowena Loops, and then finally topping the trip off with a stop at the Vista House at Crown Point via a short trip on the Old Columbia River Hwy.

Edit: postponing this since nobody wants to go. I'll do this by myself on a weekday.

The intended start time is to leave Cascade Station by 6:00AM catching the sunrise cast over majestic Mt.Hood while heading east on hwy 14 on the WA side. Hopefully knock out this whole trip in 5-6 hours and be home by noon.

I will be doing this drive even without others. :)
I'm potentially down :burnrubber:

Early bird gets the worm. All of Portland will be out in the gorge that day. Gotta beat the traffic.

Our cars should handle fairly similarly, only main difference is your strut bars in front and back. (and my stockish wheels shhhh) but lowered on sportlines.

Let me know if you end up working, if you buy us coffee we can drive together:burnrubber:
