We're trying to figure out how my wife is gonna do the Sisters outdoor quilt show on Saturday while I'm at WCC. One of the ideas is for me to leave her somewhere near Sisters and drive my car to Portland (now there's a sacrifice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) ), then she'll drive to Portland to meet me after the quilt show.
So... she's driving a VW Eurovan camper. It has no problem with hills, but she's not the long distance driver in the family so we'd like to figure out which route is the easiest alternative. We've never been on US-26 between Madras and Porland, but we have been on US-20 and Oregon-22 which both go from Sisters to I-5. We're wondering if anyone knows these roads and can tell us how US-26 compares to the other two. Thanks for the help! |

The hwy 22 route is shorter in distance than 26. 22 is twistier & really nice for a 914. 26 has long straights to get ya up to 100 mph & beyond BUT... "The Man" is always watching! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
