OR/WA Meet Sept 15 - Longview, WA
MEET SITE
======== Let's meet at John Null Park in Longview at 2:00 p.m. 2650 Pacific Way Longview, WA 98632 http://maps.google.com/maps?near=265...=15&iwloc=addr It's nothing special in terms of a park -- two baseball diamonds and four tennis courts, but the parking lot is huge, especially for a park of its size; it could easily hold 200 cars. The parking lot is as big as the park itself. Here is a picture of the park entrance and some general information. The red sign is to your left as you enter the parking lot: http://www.ci.longview.wa.us/parks_r..._johnnull.html It's a great rendezvous point as it's right off of Ocean Beach highway (SR 4). Pacific Way is a small, residential looking street that dead ends into Ocean Beach highway. The park is less than a block down the street on the right. CRUISE ALONG THE COLUMBIA RIVER =========================== After hanging out, taking pics, whatever -- we can cruise west on SR 4 along the Columbia River, following the Lewis & Clark scenic highway through the twisties... Maybe about 3 or 3:30'ish? About 3 miles from John Null Park we'll cross SR 432 and leave Longview. The Columbia is to the left and visible for most of the way: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=e...UTF8&om=1&z=12 The question becomes -- how far do we go? SR 4 will eventually take you all the way to the coast. MY PLAN ======= The next town is Cathlamet. A quaint small town about 25 miles west of Longview. Cathlamet has a small bridge to Puget Island. I propose cruising out to Cathlamet and stopping by the Haiying Chinese restaurant for some grub: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&sa...Z7KjAOHtPSdAg# I talked to a local yesterday at the Puget Island ferry landing and he claimed that the food at Haiying wasn't bad. It appears from the signs in the window that they have a bar as well -- Chinese and a cold beer doesn't seem like a bad plan. Cathlamet is not a culinary hotspot, I didn't see much else. Pugent Island has a ferry to Westport, Oregon: http://www.iinet.com/~englishriver/L...ort_ferry.html FYI, the ferry runs from 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, on the hour. |

Sounds like a cool GTG, but I'll be attending the UW/Ohio State football game that day in Seattle. See if my Hucking Fuskies can actually put together a winning season this year!
