Past Events: Willard Cruise with DatsunNW - Sep 7, 2008
by DatsunNW member
============================== A thrilling drive along Hwy 14 then up into the hills to negotiate hairpin turns, steep climbs, and narrow country roads.
We will meet up a little before 10 a.m. in the parking lot of the Fred Meyer in Vancouver along Hwy 14. The address is 2500 Columbia House Boulevard, Vancouver Wa Pack a lunch and we'll have a picnic in Willard...because there are no restaurants in Willard.
We'll take a short trip up some even more remote country roads...you might even see some elk.
We'll head back down to Hwy 14 through Underwood which features more twisty fun roads and breathtaking views of the Columbia River Gorge. We'll retrace our route along Hwy 14 with perhaps a side trip through Carson...then back up over Cape Horn to Vancouver.
It's about 50 miles to the Willard turnoff then another 7 miles up the hill to Willard. Call Julie at (...) with questions.
What a RUN!! I've never pushed my turbo and brakes so hard!!
It was SO much FUN just cruising up and down hills, around super-tight corners in the Colombia River Gorge (just East of Portland, on the Washington side) what a Blast!!
I wish I could have installed a video camera since pics don't tell much and are not "live" hehe..
