On the road to the Route 66 JDM Classic Car Show in Williams AZ
An 8 day scenic route drive in the 69 S2000 conversion roadster.

Day 1. Friday Sept 24. Bellevue WA to Biggs OR. 379 miles.
A drive on my favorite roads in the Horse Heaven Hills,
to east of Goldendale, on the north side of the Columbia River.
Over 200 miles of excellent back roads.

Day 2. Saturday Sept 25. Biggs OR to Baker City OR. 294 miles.
Close to a perfect Roadster drive day.
(except for too many bugs on the grille 😳🙁)
Sunny, Clear, Calm, Not hot, Empty beautiful secondary roads, no freeways.
The back roads in upper central Oregon are wonderful.
