May Midweek Drive

BY JOE SWEENEY, PHOTOS BY MONTE ALLEN

It was a beautiful Thursday morning. We met at the Fred Meyer parking lot off Cornelius Pass Road in Hillsboro. Eric Lewis conducted his always-thorough driver’s meeting as Monte took photos of the many brightly colored Porsches and event participants. We headed out towards Scappoose in two groups, the first led by Tosh Kanno and the second by Eric. Once we got to the Scappoose-Vernonia highway the fun began. We had a rest stop at Vernonia City Park and then another at the Jewell Meadows

Wildlife area, although there were no elk to see. Next was the final exciting stretch to Astoria with lots of twisties. We ended our tour in the parking lot near the Bridgewater Bistro. We said our thanks and goodbyes as a number of people took advantage of the restaurant there and others made their way back home or to other eateries. This is such a fun drive and just made for our Porsches.

A big thanks to Tosh for leading the first group and to Eric for organizing the drive and leading the second group. n
