The one with the June lake loop sign is particularly nice. Ted, I'm so glad and happy for you that you've been able to do this wonderful multi-state adventure. Thanks again for the pics. Drive fast but safe, and take your time coming back... nothing but clouds here at home. Chase that sun!

Roadster Drive Thursday, 11-4-21 69 S2000. 436 miles.
Bend OR to Bellevue WA, Thru favorite back roads in N central OR. Bend, Mitchell, Fossil, Condon, Biggs.
Mostly cloudy with some rain. Last 2 hrs. in heavy rain over Snoqualmie Pass. A proper return to PNW weather.

End of my Fall 42 day roadster trip to The Williams car show, Borrego Springs desert and the JCCS car show. Sept 24 to Nov 4.
14 driving days thru WA, OR, Utah, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and California.
5300 total miles driven . NO roadster problems.
A "modern" conversion drive train makes these long roadster trips more enjoyable and less anxious.
