So who is going to Bend in July and Who wants to get together for a convoy down from the Northwest Region?  I know we had a blast when we went down to Carson City together, I think this trip could be just as much fun.  What do you think, let me know.

Depends on your route. If you go I84 out the Columbia Gorge I could meet you at Biggs Junction. Then we could head south on Hwy 97 suncountry2010-06-04 19:23:12

Mark & the NW Convoy to Bend,

Do yourselves a big favor & stop at the Peter Skene Ogden Wayside State Park:
This State Park and rest stop is located a few miles north of Redmond.  This is a pleasant rest stop with three bridges that span the Crooked River gorge. There is a railroad bridge that is about 100 years old, a highway bridge that is no longer in use, and the new highway bridge. You can walk out onto the old highway bridge and look down into the gorge for an unbelievable  view, about 300-350 feet if I remember, (bring your bungie cords!!).  There are a couple of small waterfalls that spill over the side of the sheer cliffs and drain into the river.  Peter Skene Ogden was an early fur trader who led the first recorded journey into Central Oregon in 1825. He later discovered  Mt. Shasta and the city of Ogden, Utah is named for him. There are several informational signs about him and Central Oregon located within this park.
Most definitely worth the stop,  and it has bathrooms too!!!

Here is my .02 Cool
If you cross the 205 bridge near PDX, then take 84 east to Troutdale then you can pick up HWY 26,
That is why I'm suggesting Welches Thriftway parking lot. This is just before Government Camp and way before Mt Hood/Timberline. We take HWY 26 to Madras then south on HWY 97 to Redmond and then Bend.
What do you think?
I see we have a number of C3's coming from WA.Thumbs Up
How many from Oregon are going to connect up with the group?Ermm

I made your link clickable Wink
 
I think that would be a great place to link up.  Then we can meet up with everyone else traveling down 97 in Madras, OR.  I'm going to work on some times to meet up today.

Because you all don't want to go the long way and instead take the fun twisty mountain road, I may be forced to alter my plans. Julia and I may go to Portland on Monday to see family then join up with the pack theirWink

Looks like I have another change in plans. I am going to have to meet the group in Madras. Our son won't get back from his youth group trip until Tuesday so the trip to Portland is canceled. Do you have an eta for Madras?

Glen,

Don't know which route you're planning on taking to Bend but Wally and I will be rolling down US-395 towards Kennewick early in the afternoon on Wednesday.  It all depends on how far we get into Montana on Tuesday and what time we get on the road Wednesday morning. 

If we get to Big Timber, MT on Tuesday it is about 9+ hours from there to Kennewick.  So if we're rolling by 6 o'clock MDT (5 o'clock PDT) that would put us in Kennewick between 2:00 and 3:00 PDT and then into Bend about 4 hours later.  That may be later than you want arrive in Bend though.

I will let you know hopefully soon. I would like to get to Bend by early afternoon so I can see my sister who lives there. She will be leaving Friday morning to pick my parents up at the airport in Redmond then drive to the Olympic Peninsula for my niece's wedding (mom is not very happy with me for not being at the wedding). So my only time to meet up with with my sister is either Wednesday afternoon of early Thursday evening.

No worries.  Our travel plans aren't cast in stone yet.  We may try to get some miles done on Monday night which would put us in Kennewick earlier on Wednesday.  We'll keep you posted.

Glen,
Madras is only 1 to 1 1/2 hours from Welches... depending on your driving and traffic.
So I'm not sure of the meeting time at Welches...yet.
When do you plan on being at Madras? 
There is a McDonalds we can meet at, and a gas station so we can fill up if needed.
Steve

Dave - if you're coming up from the south think about hanging a right on US 97 in northern California and save a few miles and saddle time.

Glen - Madras is a 7 hour run from Coeur d'Alene (if we make it that far on Tuesday) so I'm guessing we'll be a bit behind you.  We're planning to make Bend between 4 and 5 o'clock.

Jim,
That was my original plan, to come up from Orick, CA to Bend. But I think it will be more fun to meet the NW Gang and cruise into the hotel with them.
If I can get to Grants Pass in lower OR on I-5 Tuesday night, it is a short 4 hours to wetvet's place in Lake Oswego.
One way or another, I will see you all at the Shilo on Wednesday.
 
Are we there yet???

Heres the deal.
Woodland 10am
Welches    11:30am
Madras        1:30 pm
Bend            2:30pm

We should do a cell phone list so if someone isnt where they are supposed to be we can track them down.
Steve get the #'s for anyone meeting at Welches.
Glen get the #'s for anyone meeting at Madras.

So let us know who will be where.
As far as I know Larry, Eric Bob and I will be leaving Woodland at 10am.

If I missed anything or anyone wants to add a pick up point let us know!!!!Clap

Hi All, The 3 maps are for connecting up. Each leg is 1 1/2 hours, give or take a bit for traffic.
If we can meet in the Thriftway in Welches at 11:30AM and leave at 11:45AM we can connect up with anyone else that can make it to the McDonald's in Madras at 1:45 - 2:00 PM. We can leave Madras around 2:15 - 2:30 and make it to the Shilo in Bend around 3:30 or so.
If anyone has a GPS, they can put these addresses in to see the route.

Hope this helps. See you all soon!
John... we are on the same times set. Good thing we talked about this at the car show.
Steve

Thriftway - 68280 E Hwy 26 Welches, OR 97067-9752
McDonald's - 28 Oak St. Madras, OR 97741-1886

Sorry everyone I'm dropping out of this trip Cry  I really hate too but with everything I've got going on right now there's no way I can make the trip.  Mostly it's an expense thing.  We are trying to get our house ready to sell, we have a leak in the roof that needs to be fixed, and the entire two story house needs to be recarpeted.  But mostly the money I would spend going to Bend will do a lot of work on the Pacer before I ship it to Hawaii.  Thanks for understanding and I hope to see you all at car shows around the NW.

That's a bummer Mark.
I know you really wanted to make this trip, but you can't spend what you don't have.
If I had more time for this trip I'd swing up your way, but I need to get back home pronto.
Good luck with your home and the move.
Your friend,
Dave

Glen, you wont be traveling alone once you meet up with this crew!!!!Geek
Just make sure you have your cell # if you need to find out where you are.
And shoot Steve or myself a PM with you cell # also please. Thanks.


Steve, if we meet at 11:30 and leave at 11:15 do we leave before we meet?
I am not familiar with this system.LOL

Mark, was hoping you could still make it down for a few days anyway.
Good luck with the move to the island. Thumbs Up

Karen and I will probably hook up with the group in Welches.  If you guys know the route, we can hook up in Gresham.  I might suggest the same route as last time.  Meet at the truck stop restaurant (I-84 east, Exit 17) and then that nice drive down to sandy.

Mark:  There is NO UNDERSTANDING about it.  GET YOUR A** TO BEND!!!!  Now drop and give me 20 for being such a cad.

Good to hear!
I was thinking the route up to Burnside had us getting off at exit 16.
Is there an easy way from exit 17?

Well if you dont mind lets meet off of exit 16 and we "hopefully" wont get off schedule meeting the other folks also.
Isnt there a Chevron just after you turn right off the off ramp and head south?

Mark:  Glad at least we're going to see you.  Missed that minor detail in your earlier post.

Yes, there is a Chevron on the corner of 238th (exit 16 - right turn from I-84 East) and Halsey - about 1 block south.
