Not too far from McMinnville OR, Emory Motorsports
Yes.
Across the river and about 30 miles up Hwy 84 in Mosier, Or is http://www.route30classics.com/
Grab an ice-cream, and check out the cool Porsche's always in stock.
Born and raised here in Vancouver, WA. Not too much Porsche related here in Vancouver, or Stevenson for that matter. Got to get over to Oregon to find anything related to Porsches. If you like views, head west down Hwy 14 until you get to Cape Horn. Incredible view of the Columbia River, worth a bunch of photos. Skamania Lodge does have several fairly neat zip lines that run over the golf course. I've golfed there but didn't do the zip line. Could hike to the top of Beacon Rock which is also very scenic. The area you're in is one of the most beautiful places on earth. You'll cross over the Bridge of the Gods to get over to Oregon. Also, incredibly scenic. If you love scenery, view, and nature, you're going to love where you're going. I didn't even know about Route 30 Classics. I'm going to have to check that out, next time I roll down I-84. Surprised there is anything in that tiny town. Pretty Cool.
Last I heard, the ice cream storefront is no longer being opened for the summer tourist season, but Stephen may still have some Porsche stuff to show by appointment.Quote:

As Gearby said, the Columbia River Gorge is beautiful and worth your time. On the Oregon side, be sure to take the "old" highway between Cascade Locks and Corbett to see the waterfalls. Further east, the kite surfers put on a spectacular show on windy days. Enjoy!
The Skamania Lodge in Stevenson, Washington is a beautiful scenic location. The Columbia River Gorge as was mentioned is beautiful and very much worth your time. There are great roads to drive your Porsche on. You've planned your trip just a little bit early for Porsche activity. In fact the 356 Registry is having the West Coast Holiday in August 28-31st of this year. Portland is some 45 minutes away and it's a great city to visit.Have a great time!
thanks all
so it will scenery instead of cars then.....
