Default Northwest Cruise....

Some of us in the PNW (Pacific Northwest) section went on a recent cruise....strictly because Patrick decided to go for a drive...and fifteen of us followed along....

We met in Salem Oregon and drove to Sisters and points East...

Then we hit the road before the sun broke through...

We stopped at a Forest Service station



Then hit the road again....

Then another stop in the Lava beds....

Black Butte

At the "observatory"...


The Observatory built in the 30's during the WPA...


There is just nothing like this car to both stir the senses AND bring people together in a common passion.....
