DRIVE RATING:



.. . Driving = 20% 2, 70% 3(out of 5)
Scenery = 4 (out of 5)



This will be our first official drive of the 2011 season ! Many of us have driven through the Columbia River Gorge and admired it's beautiful vistas and amazing scenery, but have you ever done it at night, with the top down (or off )? If you haven't, you don't know what you're missing! (And if you have come and do it again ). This is a perfect opportunity for all of you who just had your new seat warmers installed in to put them to use!


SATURDAY, February 19 – 2 Driving Hours & 80 Miles

This will be a shorter drive for those who have always wanted to get out for a drive but haven't had time to spare an entire day

We will meet in the evening for an optional dinner in Troutdale (within happy hour time for some cheap eats ) At McMenamins Edgefield. It should give us plenty of time to re acquaint ourselves with our s2000's and with each other



And then it is on up from Troutdale. We will find our way to Crown Point but not before taking some rarely traveled back roads along the way.















The drive will be leisurely and if the skies are clear, give us a prime opportunity to star gaze in the nights sky:





There will be some twisties along the way for some fun.













We will follow the Columbia River on our way back to our final stopping point







Its all over when we reach Burgerville for some frozen treats.




Don’t miss out on this one!

...................S2Ki Oregon - The fun starts here! ...


In the event of inclement weather we will automatically postpone to the following weekend – February 26th. If that day is also rainy, we will cancel and plan to meet up for our March ”Hillsboro Honda Meet” :

...

Note:This is the Oregon S2000 Owners Forum. As such, our drives are exclusively for S2000s and their owners in Oregon and S.W. Washington.

Our drives are not open to the general public, which includes those who used to own an S2000, hope to own one, those with similar cars, or those who think the drive we've put together sounds fun and would like to tag along, etc.

We are not trying to be snobby here, but are trying to clarify what we are about – The fun and adventure of Honda S2000 ownership
