beandip Posted May 14, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2010 North West Z is having a cruise this coming Saturday the 15th it's Armed Forces Day and we are going to the Coast, via some great back roads , fun with a Z. We are gathering in North Planes Oregon right off of Hwy 26 and the North Planes/Glenco exit at 9:00. Our destination for lunch is a great Pub on the Columbia River out on a the Pier. Driving time will be about 4 hrs plus what ever time it takes for pictures and comfort stops. We will end up on Old Cornelius Rd at a great pub that we can gather out on the Patio , weather permitting. Make it if you can.Gary:classic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zcline Posted May 14, 2010 Share #4 Posted May 14, 2010 So is that here-ish? Not bad, looks like about a half hour outside of Portland. Hope to make it and meet some fellow Z owners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beandip Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted May 14, 2010 zcline, Yes we are meeting at Exit 57 I believe. It is the Glenco/North Planes Exit. We are gathering at the Mac Donald's that is right there. A couple of gas stations there as well. The weather forecast is sunny and 74* See you in the morning.

Terrapin Z Posted May 15, 2010 Share #7 Posted May 15, 2010 The wife and I are going to tag along on this ride as well. I test drove the Z to work for the last two days and all seems to be fine in the run-ability dept., so time for a higher milage test drive. What better chance to meet a few fellow Z lovers and enjoy a beautiful day. See you in North Plains.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundmasterg Posted May 15, 2010 Share #8 Posted May 15, 2010 Sounds like a fun time. I would have come if I would have known about it sooner. Enjoy the weather and happy birthday to Roger!Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrapin Z Posted May 16, 2010 Share #9 Posted May 16, 2010 What a fun day, great weather and a fun drive through scenic countryside. Stopped at LL Stub Stewart State park for a look and a break at the day use area. Went on and stopped to view the Elk Reserve for a bit. Nice heard there. Went on to Astoria's Rogue Pub, with a full-on chili cook off going on. and had a nice lunch. I decided to break off and head back North for home and decided to take additional back-roads the rest of the 80 miles home. I hit the 55555 mile threshold 5 miles north of Longview, I thought about it after I was home and looked at the picture and said to my wife "I should have been going 55 MPH when I took this." It only happens once and you can't go back and do it again. Se la vie :classic: Then about 3 miles from home we make the turn and there is this eagle in the road and he flies into the trees. I had to flag two cars around me to get the shots. A great ending to a killer day. The car ran quite well and handled great even on the Pot hole international raceway we encountered on the way. I think I swallowed a filling on that one. Nice to meet some fellow Z ers, A fine day for sure. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
