Math Problem

[layton]

Dude, WTF is your problem with I-5!!!???

I-5 is the most bestest road ever, constant enjoyment. i don't even listen to the stereo on I-5, i'm so enamored being in "the moment"

There is a little complication in Portland. You take the beltway, 205, and then you take 84 for some miles. I always get mixed up as to where to exit for the easiest connection onto 26 - is it exit 13?

[knelson]

I vote for the Crackima route - quicker AND more relaxing. You can actually feel your fingers throbbing on the way home, unlike the I5 route.

Yeah, you just take the wood-something, or something-wood exit. I just look for wood. Hope this helps!

[layton]

No it's exit 16 i think follow signs to woodenville. either way take burnside east until it turns into 26

[Greta]

Woodenville. Thats it! Burnside is fine if you're coming from portland, but isnt it quicker to take 84 out if your coming from the north?

[ashw_justin]

f' that, 205 to 26.

It isn't the exit that determines the fastest way to 26 as much as the way you go after you get off (assuming you exit somewhere in the teens... don't take I-5 all the way to 26... slow!). I would say just take exit 17 as this gives you a chance to get the cheapest gas around (with the exception of the am/pm in sandy though that one is usually a clusterfuck). I would say fill up here regardless of where you tank is as from there it only jumps $0.20 or so all the way to redmond and back.

 

And don't forget! 26 from roughly Sandy to Mt Hood is a safety corridor... a.k.a. speed trap hell! Traffic fines double! Drive smart!

 

As far as interstate corridor vs. I-5 it depends on if you expect to hit the "seattle/tacoma/olympia rush hour clusterfuck because the locals can't get descent mass transit mess" go the interior way as it is faster! Going the interior way does take you through Hood River which kicks the shit out of anywhere for a coffee/beer/rest stop/grab lunch/whatever stop. Hood River s

I just realised we are giving Dru directions to smith, crap!

 

Dru, uh....take I-5 south to redmond CALIFORNIA, yeah, that's it. smith is now outside of redmont, ca..not redmond, or.

[John Frieh]

And don't forget Mt Hood Roasters in Welches, OR! Doughnuts and coffee!

[iain]

come on dude, mt hood roasters doesn't even BEGIN to compare with Joe's Donuts in Sandy. Get with the program.

[Dechristo]

I'll bring homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast...?

Damn! That alone would make the trip worthwhile.

 

Hope you all have a great time and flash belays a grade higher than your current best.

DeC, your presence is requested. Come on down--please, please, please?

STFU, Bailer!

 

One time he bailed on a ride I offered to give him to the airport. I woke up at 5 am and his van was gone.

Damn! Never tried that place! I am gonna have to get with the program

[iain]

I recommend the apple fritter. One of those is good for 30k' vert. worth of skiing.

[John Frieh]

Are they open early?

[cj001f]

Are they open early?

like 4 or 5 am. Early enough to stop off if you need to be at TLine at 6am. I go for the sugar donuts.

[Ireneo_Funes]

Mountain Moka in Sandy gets my vote. 'Cause of the cute baristas, of course. The coffee is ok.

[pope]

A car leaves Abbotsford at 6:30 and travels south at 120 km/h. What time does it reach Skull Hollow?

 

 

Is there a tail wind, or is that just your ass?

Yeah Joe's has good donuts but you have to endure some plumber's butt. It's like Vedauwoo in there

Joe's is the place to eat for sure.

 

Also, the WOOD VILLAGE exit is the one to take off of I-84. Take a right at the stop sign and stay on that road until you get to Burnside. Take a left on Burnside and it's a straight shot over the pass. And definitely be on the lookout for cops between Sandy and Gov't Camp as mentioned earlier. Have fun

[Dechristo]

DeC, your presence is requested.

 

Yeah, well, I have a standing request of myself to attend a gathering of cc.cahmers.

 

A few years back, I journeyed about six hundred miles to meet and climb with a number of participants of another climbing website. The "rendezvous" drew folks from far-flung corners of North America, as well as, Switzerland, and England. It was a blast; immensely entertaining to meet in person folks you've only known through the strictures of a written word medium.

 

Time will tell...
