If these are just hills, my little MB powered truck might just be a little underpowered. I'll get there, might take a little longer

Yeah, you'll find some real 'hills' if you're commin up I-5 into Oregon.

If going Hwy 101, won't be as bad and more scenic too.

Going to head up 101, have always heard the scenery is to die for.

Oh yeah Garry, I found another playground that puts the dragon to shame, 31 miles and I think I saw one straight stretch that was maybe 100 yards long. Problem is it's in California

but it was a blast

Yeah, Jeff and I and a couple others ran it last year when we were in P.F. for the week, we didn't play around either, our old trucks really looked great doing the switch-backs.
