Washington/oregon z drive

[Jeff G 78]

Well, you all missed out on an AWESOME weekend of traveling thru the great Northwest in lower Washington and upper Oregon. We went to the Maryhill Winery, Museum, Stonehenge replica and the famous Maryhill Loop Road. Met some great people and friends, drove many a winding road, hit speeds of over 125MPH on SR 14 and the scenery was Breath taking.

Go to Youtube and look up " Maryhill Loop Road " ZCCW.org 4/26/09

Here's a link to my 70' 240Z going down the hill. It's little grainy but it's me. Leah was recording so yo get what ya get. I still love her though.

Very cool road. From the 350Z footage, at appears to be a road to nowhere. I saw no road signs either. Is it patrolled much?

It also looked to be relatively windy from the first vid, but the wind turbines were all stationary. Seems odd.

It's a privately owned, gated off road. No road signs or traffic, No Police or anything of that sort. It's rentable for $250 for 4 hours (I believe) Located in Maryhill, WA on the Columbia river off SR 14? I think. And when you have 20+ people, $250 devided among 20 drivers is only $12.50 each.

If you want more info on the road itself, cantact Ken at czcc.org as he knows about renting it and so on. It's a complete dead end road that ends at the top of a hill with enough room for about 25 cars and easily enough room to turn around and go back down.

Ya'll missed a hell of a drive and week-end. So if you NW guys can't make it to MSA next year, plan on this trip as an alternative. It's cheaper, closer and more active and personal.

If I go next year, I'll bring a better camera for Videos. My car handled beautifully and sounded great, though the wind proved louder than the car as the Mic picked up the slightest breeze.

That's really cool Dave. Thanks for the road info. Something didn't look right when I saw no signs, no yellow centerlines and no guard rails. Makes sense now.
