About
The 8th Annual "Run to the Gorge" is open to all Cars. We will be leaving from
Jaguar of Tacoma, located in the Fife Auto Mall, just west of I-5.
This tour, on your own, will take you South through the back
country to the Washington side of the Columbia Gorge, to our final destination at Hood River Or.
The Hood River Inn will be our host hotel. We have arranged a dinner
where we will have the opportunity to go over
the days events and award prizes. On Sunday morning, we will meet up again and head north using a different route.
These are roads you have probably never driven. Through great places like Kelso, Napavine and Onalaska.
This is not a rally. There are no traps. Run in the style of European events you will be given maps and
instructions to make your drive a pleasant one.
You will arrive at the Inn around 4:00pm and have time to take a dip in the pool before meeting for Cocktails and Dinner.
Dinner will consist of a County Fair Buffet, including Baby Back Ribs with Barbecue Sauce, Grilled Chicken with Barbecue Sauce,
Seasonal Vegetables, Oven Roasted Potatoes, Mixed Garden Greens with Dressing, Fresh Fruit Salad, Cornbread, Chef’s Dessert,
Coffee, Tea, Iced Tea & Soft Drinks.
On Sunday morning we will take a short tour to White Salmon, WA
For Breakfast at the Elkhorn Bar and Grill.
There will be a Buffet consisting of Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Ham,
Country Style Potatoes, Pancakes, Fresh Fruit Medley, Fruit Juices, Coffee, and Tea.
After Breakfast we will have a drivers meeting giving you the return route.
We invite you to explore the many shops in White Salmon before you start your return trip.
Can't stay overnight? You can still join us for the Drive only or stay for dinner and you could still be back in the Seattle Area
by Midnight.
