Old Historic Columbia Hwy
Saturday, September 9th
Join Jerry Thalhamer for this fantastic scenic ride. To let you know...this is NOT a fast drive ... but absolutely spectacular in beauty...numerous waterfalls...and of course...wait for it...Vista House...amazing in itself. This will probably be an all day drive...stopping for lunch somewhere along the way.
In order to avoid hoards of people and cars...I would like to meet at the Wilsonville Exit 286 - Costco Gas parking lot @ 7am...with a preferred start on the Old Historic Hwy at 8am.
Due to the roads and possible traffic conditions...I believe it would be best to limit the amount of cars to six (6)...so it may be truly enjoyed by all! ZOOM- ZOOM.Please RSVP so we
can make plans for lunch!

"The Premier Summer Miata Tour Event"
July 19-22, 2018
"EXPLORE OREGON" is an annual premier summer event, organized by the Willamette Valley Miata club. Be prepared to enjoy some of Oregon's most
beautiful and historic scenery and explore the awesome back roads of the Umpqua Valley as we spend an incredible weekend in Roseburg, OR.
Roseburg - Our destination
Roseburg is situated at the heart of the Hundred Valleys of the Umpqua in scenic, Southwestern Oregon. On Interstate 5, it is 67 miles south of the state's second largest city, Eugene, and 123 miles north of the California border. Traveling by State Highway 38/138 or 42, Roseburg is about 80 miles inland from the Pacific coastal communities Reedsport and Coos Bay. Highway 138 continues east from the city along the North Umpqua River. It is 79 miles to Diamond Lake at the summit of the Oregon Cascades and just 20 miles more to Crater Lake National Park.
One of the nicest things about Roseburg is its seasons. Winters are cool without much freezing and provide most of the rainfall that brings blossom-filled springs. A warming trend begins in April and May, continuing into the summery days of July and August. Fall weather is pleasant and crisp, producing brilliant leaf colors in late October.
The Hundred Valleys of the Umpqua have been compared geographically and climatologically with Italy and Southern France. Extremes of heat and cold are rare. The summer humidity is low and snowfall is rare on the valley floor. The normal growing season is 217 days. Roseburg enjoys one of the lowest average wind velocities in the United States.
Lodging

Our family owned and operated hotel has roots that run deep in the Umpqua Valley, which has allowed us to perfect the art of strong service and affordability.
