i should be pulling in between 5-6:30, depending on traffic i hit coming from Seattle... i think Google Maps should help us find Sugar Shack...

OK, i Googled Sugar Shack & it's in Portland... so if there isn't a local one, that's 77 miles from The Dalles where I'm staying... i'd only make it at 6:30pm if i went there coming in, before i went all the way to the Dalles...

Booker, is there one in the area other then the one in Portland?
 
Its up in the dalles on 10th street. Im sure its called the sugarshack. I will look and see what I can find in the local phone book.

I work just down the road from that place. I've been kinda laughing about it because its not some place you would want to eat. No windows and parking in the back if ya get my drift.

The guys at work were giving me heck for traveling to Washington to run a chainsaw. I told them I was going to bring a Sasquatch back and beat them to death with it.

Think they'd mind if I brought back a couple Sequoia seedlings in my baggage? :) The park rangers I mean... I know Sasquatch wouldn't mind. We go way back.

Just got off the phone with RR2. He's headed for the airport. I'll pick him up in Sacramento about 0300 and we'll head your way.

I had some good news for him...no Toyota Tacoma. Diving 530 miles in a Tacoma is just one step ahead of driving up there on a riding lawnmower. It had to go to the shop so I took my wife's PreRunner to work...kind of a yuppie crummy. Since it already had all the saws and tools and such in it I'll just throw a suitcase in the back on top of the logging junk.

Maybe I'll put the milk crate with the gas cans and wedges on the roof rack. That and the California license plates would probably get me stomped before we got north of Madras.

See you people tomorrow. :cheers:

Trin.. Leave by 1pm.. or wait until after 7pm... It's not the Seattle traffic- it's the mess from Centraila to Portland, and the Portland/Vancouverr traffic after 3.30pm.. I'm out of here by 11.. been caught before...
 
It's closer to 4.5 though Portland/Vancouver... maybe I'm thinking winter... I have friends that live in Hood River and every time I say take the yakima route, they shake their head...

Tell you what -let's leave at exactly the same time and see who gets there first!
