I'm thinking about heading up also. I'm finishing up a two week school on the 15. Not sure when I'll be done that day to make the 9 hr. drive.<p>Steve

I would definitely be interested! We could drive out 84E to Hood River and come back SR14 for some fun curves, anything sounds fun though.

Re: (58ford)
If we're talking about a 2 hour drive total, then I might be interested. What time would you be leaving? At 3, when the garage sale closes. or earlier?

It would be cool if everyone could make the gtg , so we can all compromise on something that's close and get a fun drive in. Any suggestions from the locals? If none of you have experienced German Town Road then you're missing out. For a brew pub I think Kennedy School, Bridge Port or Rogue since they are all fairly close to IPD and have relatively good parking.

Re: (Slvr S60R)
what's the date for this meet? <p>

This doesn't necessarily have to be for just R's either. If you know anyone who is going the the IPD Garage Sale, in their Volvo, they should come too. The more the better. Also, if those said friends have 240s then I have a bunch of random stuff I'm selling. I'll be the guy in the Silver S60R selling stuff out of my trunk <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/smile.gif" BORDER="0">
