Default Sooooo......

I am seeing these posts about people meeting in the Washington area for cars and coffee.
How about we do something like that in the Oregon area as well? A central meeting point would be ideal, and give me an excuse to go somewhere!
Anyone interested?

Gosh, usually when I post something like this it takes a week or two to set something up.

I have to work tomorrow, but I dont work til 8 PM next Saturday, so that would be good for me. It would be great if the rest of you met up tomorrow though!

Any ideas of what areas would be centrally located for us all to meet up? I live in Salem, so would like something out of town, or at least somewhere that I can actually get out on the freeway and enjoy the drive. I am sick of stop and go traffic.

Laura,
Don't know if I can make it yet, but how about somewhere in Albany? That is kinda in between for the Salem & Eugene folks (or you could go north for the Portland area people). I'll watch to see where this lands and make my decision. We have a Duck basketball game next Sat., but that hasn't been so very exciting this year .

Cute. There are plenty of things to do here as well, just getting everybody together is another whole scenerio.

Albany is fine, and if anyone wants to go for lunch or something later, I am up for that as well. I just need to get back in time to get a little rest, and a shower before work.

Default Silver Creek Falls?

I am new to the Corvette world. (Last Weekend, "07" coupe)
But would like to get together for a run. But next weekend is looking like rain. I am up for some type of get together when it's a nice day.
A run over to Sisters for a burger sounds like a fun day also.

If we all wait for nice weather, it may be awhile. Oh well, I am not afraid of mine getting wet. I do everytime I wash it anyway.
