The drive began with 6 MR2's arriving at the Grand Slam U.S.A. Parking lot in Woodburn, located on 99E. We were able to welcome 3 new members to the club. The club members had an opportunity to swap some tech talk, look over each other's twos then at 12:15P we went north on 99E to HWY 214 intersection and headed toward Mt. Angel driving through the German village and south to Silverton. We arrived in Silverton for Lunch at the "Home Place", where more tech talk and stories were swapped. After an excellent lunch it was south on HWY214 and onward to the foothills with some of the best-banked curves available in the Willamette Valley.

Our first stop was North Falls Overlook. A stretch of the legs and photo's were taken. The next stop was the South Falls Day Use area. The hike under the falls took about 25 minutes with rests along the way to cool down.

Finishing the South Falls area, we continued south on HWY214 toward the Willamette Valley Observation Point. After that photographic session, we again traveled south on HWY 214 through some great curves and beautiful scenery toward HWY22 then onto I-5

We hope you can join us for future events with the club
