I'm here at one of the coolest dealerships (for truck guy) that I've ever seen.

You could come visit for a spell. Or the airshow is on today at the Airforce base. Great jet action.

Here is my local number 503-477-2424.

My brother lives across the river in Vancouver. I'm driving out there for a visit in about 2 weeks. I've never been there. Should be fun.

I'm trying to decide if I should bring my mountain bike, road bike or both. I'm also still trying to plan my route and what I want to see and do along the way. (wife and son are flying out to meet me there )

Michael,



When your in Seattle after Pikes Place take the ferry to Bainbridge Island as a walk on. Neat ride and Winslow is a fun town to walk around. The trip back for walk ons is free. I live on the Island, but most likely will be working unless it the weekend.

So all in all... .





We did not go up to Seattle we were told there was tremendous traffic even more than usual due to construction.



so instead we walked around Portland and Walked along the willamete river nearby and got to see some of the entertanment at the "Bite of Oregon" event.

I met a lot of "interesting" people LOL And what topped off my Thoughts on some of the people in portland is when i saw a bumper sticker that said "Keep portland weird" :rk:



For the wedding, it took place at the rodededmdrum garden near Portland,WOW all I can say is that place is beautiful!!!!!! A must see for anyone and hopefully if I ever come back I will def. go there again



The Northwest is a bit cold for me, We went to cannon beach and it was kind of weird being at a beach and seeing people wearing coats and pants LOL But I got to put my toes in the pacific Ocean



the drive from Portland to cannon beach was def. a nice drive the scenary is beautiful



well thats all i can think of now hopefully when I come back ill be able to meet up with some dieselheads LOL

I'm buying tires when I get there. Any good (or bad) tire shopping experiences out in the Portland area? I'm looking for a 315/70x17 size like I have now. (soon to be my brorther's) Maybe Cooper Discoverer ATR? Open to other ideas, though. I'm mostly in sand, snow, or on pavement.
