I'm really strapped for time and tried reaching out to Steve Dahlberg with Scion and got no response and have not had time to continue chasing a food donor for the meet. We're in recovery mode trying to quickly put this together so if someone has a contact with a dealership or one of the local vendors please help out and see if we can get someone to donate what would amount to $50-$70 worth of pizza. Ahhem... @PERRIN_Mladen @FRES86 lol. David Killion works for a Oregon City Subaru but I don't know if he's on the forum.

Where is your final destination and what is the plan when you get there? After the cruise I'm assuming?

I don't think you'll be hearing back from Steve Dahlberg. He's transitioning out of Scion effective 10/1. His replacement, Ed Bietschek, won't know enough to help yet.

@PERRIN_Mladen - I was trying to fill in the gaps to complete the original format Darren indicated in the original post. This is all very short notice and I'm just trying to make sure the ship doesn't capsize.

Meet at school at 11. Lunch around 12. Start cruise at 1. Finish cruise around 4 at gas station at the intersection of I-5 and Avery just south of Chehalis and then everyone splits off and heads North or South after a small gathering just to close the day.

I really wanna go this year but it depends on how hungover I am. I'll be celebrating my birthday the nights before... Yep, that was plural.

Kevin took over the planning since Darren is too busy remodeling his house. Darren was in charge of the the scavenger hunt, which fell off the radar since he's busy. Sponsors fell through for food and swag so no free food and no extra prizes at this point as far as I know. So far it's looking like a meet then drive with some raffle prizes given away sometime before of after the drive, all donated from fellow owners. Some of them are decent prizes like a one night stay at a hotel near the PDX airport with $50 dining credit.

My wife got some brand new make up she not using. . And was planning to throw them away. But I got a great idea we going to wrap it up and do part of giving away...

In the process of moving. ..

One man's trash is another man's treasure...I may be putting in some side skirts and a BRZ front lip as well the vendor I bought it from has stopped talking to me after I complained so I'm stuck with it and decided it wasn't what I wanted for my car

OurFirst86 · 09-19-2013, 02:37 PM

Who from salem or south or salem is going??

JRTritsch · 09-19-2013, 07:19 PM

Not sure if I'll be free on the 29th, but I'm new to the area and like to explore so just drove this route today. First off, NF-25 is right up there with the most fun/beautiful roads I've experienced, so thats good.

I would recommend turning down NF-99, turning around, and heading back the way you came. I'm on the OE suspension and I severely bottomed out twice despite trying to avoid the ruts - I was driving "briskly" howver

. You can't drive quickly north of NF-99 because of the road condition and 12 isn't exactly exciting. If ya'll do decide to go that route, keep it slow through the northern half.

JRTritsch · 09-19-2013, 07:28 PM

Actually I'm going to doubly recommend not doing the northern half...just confirmed I bent the OE wheel on that drive...

digital_assassin · 09-19-2013, 08:06 PM

Whoa!!

I've never drove this route so thanks for doing some recon. I thought this road was paved the whole way. Is it not @JRTritsch?

JRTritsch · 09-19-2013, 08:23 PM

Yes it is paved the whole way, but the pavement has collapsed and become rutted where the support has washed away under the road. You can definitely make it through without damaging your car, but you'll have to slow way down on that northern section and drive carefully around the ruts. I didn't, so I payed the price

I'm not lowered so I could see it possibly being a problem for others...and the OE wheels are fairly strong compared to most aftermarket.

There are a few bumps before then, but nothing major. NF25 is in great shape until it isn't. I didn't mark exactly where it started to get bad but south of NF99 is definitely good.

DoomsdayJesus · 09-19-2013, 11:13 PM

I would like to go but I'm not doing the northern route. The route to Paradise is awesome, plenty of twists and turns, plus plenty of food on the route.

Not ruts so much as the side margins slumping away a couple inches in some places.
Frequently in heavily shaded sections just after an open space so it's not visibly obvious.

FS 99 to Windy Ridge observation point is worth exploring too.
