In reply to:
A drive up through the gorge to Multnomah Falls or something like that sounds good.
Hmm, if your criteria for a fun run is:
a) scenic
b) twisty
the drive to Multnomah is neither. I did it on the way back from the Portland meet. So boring I went to the falls and enjoyed that, then turned around and followed the Columbia back to I-5. Also not particularly curvy or fast. And for those of you who know me, I'm not a speed demon. KDWs last 35k miles on my car.
I think next summer we should get together to organize a run up Mt. St. Helens. THAT would be a drive. Also a few nice visitor centres up there so there's something to do before turning back and enjoying the drive down.
Or else we should run out I-20 East thru the Cascades which I did last month. Sea level to 6000 ft in about 45 mins. The drive would start in Sedro-Wooley I think it's called.
You'll see views like this (Diablo Lake):
Just some ideas. And I'm sure with a planned summer event we can do at least as well as the Everett Meet, hopefully better. The drive and the stop for lunch should be the main attraction.
