Some of you joined us for the R Gruppe Pac West chapter tour last year and made it as far as Hood River. The best part of the weekend, the very best roads we found, were after most of you left. Three of us continued on, southeast of Hood River. The roads are absolutely fantastic through that area. Starting from a hotel in the area, bright and early Saturday morning, will give everyone more than enough time to enjoy them and return to the hotel for dinner. We got a later start, and kind of had to rush through it and even then drove well into the night to get back. All three of us resolved to get down there and do it properly, with more time. It sounds like that might be what Scooter has in mind.
