Thanks for coming everyone! Turned out to be an awesome drive besides the few glitches.

Glad you all came, and we definitely need to drive that more often, those are some fun roads.

I'm getting the RPNW galley setup again, so if you want to send me any pics you have matt at rpnw dot org, that would be awesome!

NFD 30 Rd was a pretty cool Rd! Thanks for organizing this!

Oregon Coast Run Next???

How about this route, we stop off at the Tillamook Air Muesum and check out the SR71 Black Bird.

It was an awesome run, met a lot of cool people... haha

I'm not sure if I'd go on that OR side one, that is ridiculously far away from me... who knows, I might - depends on gas money.

Worth the trip X10

Ridiculously far?????????????!!!!! Dude, it's only 50 miles! Trust me, I've driven from Redmond WA to take part in the last 2 RPNW Oregon Coast Rally weekends and both times it was well worth the drive. Matter of fact I'll make the drive again this year as long as I can get time to take care of the minor issues I'm having first. Bill and Matt definitely know how to plan a route. Hats off to you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm planning to get a dash-cam before this years rally so I can shoot some video. I'd like to encourage any other Seattle area rotorheads to attend this year, you won't regret it no matter the cost.

Well with route it would be a full day so a 9am meet up time would be required, unless everybody wouldn't mind getting home late.
