All of those people driving up through Calif, be sure and stop in Willows at the Black Bear Restaurant.
You will find the drive much more bearable after the Big Bear Burger and a piece of Bearry Pie.
Or if you are there for dinner the "Cluck and Buck", my favorite.
If you miss the one in Willows you have a second chance at the one in Grants Pass, Oregon.

OR, go to the original Big Bear in Mt. Shasta, ca. I'm in, and my car will be nice enough for a number this time....

for all of you that are going north to get there, go hwy 101 thru Sonoma wine country. It has some of the beautifulest twisty roads I have ever seen. just spent a week there and was dumbstruck with all the beauty everywhere from the old redwoods to the 500 year old oaks. you wont be dissapointed.

PS I will be there

I for one am excited about Portland. The city has a lot to offer and some spectacular drives just miles from the city. Being a global club, there is no perfect place for a gathering. I like the fact that other states get a chance to host the event. After all, California has had 2 WCC's now. July is the best time weather-wise in the NW and Portland is a relatively inexpensive city. I'll be there. Eddy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

The 5-6 hour stretch from Phoenix to San Diego doesn't sound like much fun in a 914 in July!

done it, survived. did it in a '53 coupe, too. cools off a bit once you hit the mountains. still, i'd do it v-e-r-y early in the morning.

heading for Portland i think i'd take 10 to the 210 to 5 unless you have another reason to go to San Diego...

I really want to go to WCC 2006 AND I really want my car there. However, driving there basically adds 3 1/2 - 4 days to the trip as it is about 20+ housrs of driving from Phoenix according to Mapquest.

How about this for an idea:

We get a couple of us from the Valley that want to go. Ship the cars up to Portland. Perhaps have them delivered to a local members house? Then we fly up, taxi over get our cars and let the fun begin. Then just reverse the whole process coming home.

I do love it up there. We go up to Ocenaside Oregon every year for vacation. Beautiful country I tell ya.

Any takers on my idea?

timberline lodge is prob one of the most interesting buildings i've ever been in. both historically and architechturally. we should consider adding it to the intinerary on the loop. nice drive up the side of the hill too.

awesome place, and we could re-enact scenes from the movie "the shining" since much of the movie was filmed there. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Maybe we could add into the drive a stop at a winery? That would give people time to mingle and sip some grape juice too. With the next WCC in P-town, there will be lots of options for some great (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) road trips.

So when is the countdown for this going to be started and nailed? I don't know about the rest of you, but it really motivates me to get off of my ass and get the car ready...

C'mon we only have X amount of days left!!!

CAMP 914 is expanding and I will have more space in the near future. No problem with shipping cars there and they can be in a large building until the owner arrives.

MT HOOD is in the plans, I think a drive up and a photo op in the parking lot below the mountain would be great. A run back to Troutdale and then to Mcmenamins Edgefield manor are also in the works.

As far as a countdown, aim for July 7,8 and 9 2006 will work. Someone get that nailed. If it changes I will be the first to know. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

with the extra days saved NOT having to drive to california (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif), the wife and i will turn this into a week long adventure. for those into the hot springs/spa experience, carson hot springs and resort is pretty cool, and sort of funky. soaking in big old bath tubs filled with geothermal water, as hot as you can stand it, and then a wrap in muslin sheets and blankets to sweat out the takillya. there is an upscale, newer resort closer to p-land, bonneville hot springs and spa, iirc.

one thing i've never been able to figure out how to get to. on the oregon side of the gorge you can see what looks like an old castle/monestary up on the hillside above I-84. not that i think we should go there during the wcc.
