  This years run will be very similar to that of last year with a couple of exceptions. We will again start on Saturday morning at Fry's in Wilsonville and head to Newport for lunch. The afternoon route will be modified to include more roads in the hills southeast of Siletz and will end in Lincoln City where we will spend the night. Sunday morning will take us north to Garibaldi and then inland to a stop at Camp 18 for lunch. The afternoon route will again pass through Jewell and on to Clatskanie. From there we can either disband (last year the rain had dampened a lot of spirits at this point) or continue on with a route that ends at Portland Ale for food and a general discussion of the weekend.

  The Crown Pacific Inn Express motel in Lincoln City has offered us a very low rate (about half price) of $53 for Saturday the 13th. But to get this rate you must make your reservation by the end of July. Call 1-800-359-7559, ask for Skip, let her know that you are with the RPNW group and ask for the $53 (one queen bed) rate.

  I think that everyone who participated last year had a great time and really enjoyed the route and company of other rotorheads. Hopefully everyone will enjoy the changes to route and we will have even more participants (and less rain) this year.

  If you want to participate you need to do two things:

  1. Call Skip at Crown Pacific Inn and make your reservation before the end of July.
  2. Send Bill White (
     billrpnw.org
     ) an email and let me know that you'll be attending so we can get a head count.

  Thanks and I hope to see a big group at Fry's on September 13.
