I'd love to attend some NW G2G's. Although we're now into our rainy NW winter weather and not the best time to stand around in parking lots looking at HHRs.
Hoping that by Spring we can get something going in the NW.

Hello Joe and Nancy ... would love to have you join us. :) .. here is a brief rundown of what we are considering so far. No finalized yet but working on it. Hope to meet you both in 2010 !! Happy Cruisin !! Thanks Rick, ZZ
Lake Tahoe / Reno Vacation Cruise (9/12 – 9/17 or 9/18)
We would leave on Sunday September 12th and head south stopping at Oakridge for lunch and then continue to Crater Lake for a drive around half of the rim only stopping for a short time at the lodge. Next continue on south to Klamath Falls to spend the evening for our first night. Leaving Monday am from Klamath Falls, stopping at the Lava Beds by Tulelake before continuing south to Susanville for lunch and then onto Reno to spend our 2nd night. The local Reno club is working with us on our activities while we are in that area. One day we are cruising up to Lake Tahoe for sure. We can either stay 3 nights in Reno or 4 nights depending on what local activities we make our final decision on. Once we are ready to leave Reno and head home we will come back a different route which takes us through Lassen National Park, then continuing on to Shasta for lunch. After lunch we will head for one of four destinations to spend the evening, that destination will be determined when we finalize the complete route. (Ashland, Medford, Grants Pass or Canyonville) This destination will depend on how far we want to drive on this day and how much time we want to spend at Lassen National Park. The final leg home can be at your own pace or as a group stopping along the way for lunch.
Mileage to Reno would be 310 miles to Klamath and 271 miles to Reno – total 581 miles in 2 days
Mileage to Portland would be 378 miles to Canyonville (less if we stop at Medford or ?) and 203 miles to Portland (from Canyonville) – total 581 miles in 2 days
5 or 6 nights for motels (depending on how many days we decide to spend in Reno)
Here are some links of the various points of interest I have mentioned

Hey Washington....I was reading all your post and nobody has mentioned going to any of the XXX Rootbeer / Hamburger Stand's car shows in Issaquah Wa....? These seem to be large G2G's by different car clubs (Corvette, Hot Rod, Mustang, ETC) held thru out the year at this hamburger joint. You guy's might want to check it out....(I was in Wa. for work and stumbled across this place).....Have fun...Ohno (Rick)
