A very popular tour brought back from the past! Who could forget Dean Shindell and his spectacular BMW M1 during our 2004 Dooger's tour? On Saturday, July 18, 2009 we will be returning. Our route takes us through Vernonia, Mist, and then to Cannon Beach. Dooger's is a great seafood restaurant with a sizable room for us to use.
After lunch, you can go into town and visit the many shops and art galleries. A very enjoyable day, indeed!

Silver Lake Tour 2008 - Recap
by Visitor on 07/07/2008
This year’s Lake tour was greeted with warm (okay more on the HOT) side, in the weather department.
After enduring the Friday afternoon traffic out of Portland, we were greeted with mostly open roads all the way to Bend, OR. After checking into our hotel, we went over to one of Bend’s locally owned Mexican Restaurants for a nice relaxing dinner and fellowship.
