Beacon Rocc: scirocco.org PNW cruise Cincy weekend?

[camron at worldaccessnet.com (Camron D. Crouse)]

Something I've always wanted to do is host a Scirocco cruise on WA State 
Route 14 along the beautiful Columbia River Gorge bordering 
Washington/Oregon. Since it isn't very practical for most of us on the 
West Coast to make it to Cincy (I DO want to make that trip, maybe next 
year) maybe this would be the next best thing.  So this is just putting 
feelers out, definitely not intending to steal the thunder from Cincy.

I gotta tell ya, the drive on SR-14 (Lewis & Clark National Scenic 
Highway) down the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge is 
*absolutely incredible*.  Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, Cape Horn Viewpoint, 
Beacon Rock, Bonneville Dam, Wind Mountain, and of course the mighty 
Columbia. Windy, twisty highway, with some good straightaways, 
well-signed and striped, all on *nice* pavement. My dad retired a few 
years ago from the Washington State DOT, and he was QC for a lot of 
these highways outside of town. Now my parents live in their new house 
outside of White Salmon, WA, so my wife and I make this drive every 
month or two, about 150 miles round-trip from Portland Metro.
