One of the most interesting sights in the George Rogers Park was the 32-foot high pig iron smelting furnace. I know it was 32 feet high because that was one of the questions on the instructions. Our route continued north to Lake Oswego to the massive Tryon Creek State Park where we learned inside the “Nature House” that we all live in a watershed. Can you imagine the sight of white coverall bedecked navigators rushing about, with a look of panic, trying to find this answer?? Still further north and now west of I-5 at Council Crest Park we answered what the Indian name for Mt. Adams is. Don’t know?? You can look it up!! Mt. Adams is visible from this vantagepoint, but was shrouded in cloud cover only 75-miles away. That steep low band smokin’climb was worth the view. |

We maintained our altitude along Skyline Blvd seeing why folks in Portland like to live there. The views were stupendous. But, what went up has to come down sooner later. Saturday we went up Germantown Rd, on this day we would go down. I love the smell of hot brakes in the afternoon. Across St. Johns bridge again and back to the hotel for cool adult beverages and the usual stories of getting lost, missing checkpoints, and comparing answers to all the questions. |

The Sunday banquet was a catered affair inside the Best Western. Door prizes and trophies greeted participants upon their arrival. No host cocktails and bench racing began promptly at 5:30pm follow by dinner at six. The meal was excellent. Exquisitely prepared in every detail. Phil and Beth passed out awards for the top three spots on both Saturday and Sunday |

Local Don Shreve captured top spot on Saturday in Car #130 with Tim Knapp navigating. His Rajo powered Model T Speedster finished just one minute off the preset time. Unlike typical Speedster runs point accumulation was a good thing here. Don and Tim answered a lot of the questions correctly to help get them to the top spot. Don claimed that it was the first time he had won a NWVS event. |
