New pics from my first road trip

We took our first road trip from Seattle to the Columbia Gorge east of Portland to see Crosby, Stills and Nash at the Maryhill Winery. Almost eight hundred miles were covered which included everything from torrential rains in Portland to Snow on Mt. Hood and sunny, warm top down driving in the Gorge. If it wasn't raining, we had the top down and loved it. I'm really happy we forgot to take out the winter hats before we left.

I have to say that having the two trunks for luggage is a real luxury and made our decision to buy the Boxster over any of the other convertibles we were considering a lucky stoke of genius. We loved the road trip and look forward to another down the west coast and/or up to B.C. Canada this summer.

The skiiers and snowboarders gave us strange looks and high fives for having the top down at Timberline on Mt. Hood.

You take some good pictures. Well done!

Here's a tip I find most valuable: Take down radar detectors, gps units, and anything else that dangles from the windshield. I'm picky, so that's distracting. So many pictures I have taken could have been so much better without that clutter in the car.

Those pictures are absolutely beautiful ! Great job. Do you have negative comments about the BOX on such a long trip ? Just curious.

Well, I am sure Wconley will answer your question, but I can tell you I did a 2,000 miles trip last year to the Tail of the Dragon, and my only complaint is that I wish it were further away!
