BOB’S MYSTERY TOUR

Saturday August 21, 2010

 

I didn’t come up with the event name but it’s gonna be a picnic in the park, so grab a blanket and dust off your picnic basket. We will even judge the pre-lunch displays. Click To See Example

 

Your morning drive will be a scenic 170-mile tour through wine country, farmland and forest including an exhilarating 2700-foot climb in elevation over the last 9 miles before the lunch break. I found a section of road with about forty miles of scenic curves that I had never driven and I bet you haven’t either.

 

We will start with a driver / navigator meeting at 8:30 in the parking lot of J’s Restaurant located at 2017 Portland Road (that would be OR-99W) in Newberg, Oregon.

 

After lunch we will have another 135 miles of scenic driving and will expect to arrive back in the Wilsonville area by about 4:30.

 

The picnic grounds are within a portion of the Siuslaw National Forest and there is a $5.00 day use fee. Passes can be purchased ahead at REI and Bi-Mart stores or payment can be made on site with the correct change. Golden Age Passports, Golden Access Passes and Interagency Senior Passes issued by the National Park Service and displayed on hang tags are all accepted.

 

If you expect to get a printed copy of the route instructions at the pre-drive participants meeting, RSVP to Bob Ellis by e-mail at:
