Pebble Beach Classic Rally – August 2014 – Day 3

From Mt Hood 250 miles through the Cascades to SunRiver Resort in central Oregon , with lunch at BlackButte Ranch. A long , hot, hard day on beautiful, mainly empty roads, with fantastic scenery. Mile after mile of forest. The road following big rivers. Two big passes– Mc Kenzies Pass and another whose name I can’t remember. The Sun River Resort is at about 4500 feet.

The Sunbeam is going beautifully. Today’s highlight was overtaking two modern Corvettes going up a hill and the tucking in behind a truck for a run downhill. And there at the bottom of the hill was the Highway Patrol. We survived. Don’t know about the Corvettes.

A book could be written about American shower taps. In every hotel or motel they seem to be different and confusing. I spent ages fiddling with one last night to discover that you had to pull down on the bath tap outlet to make the water come out of the shower. What happened to the good old hot and cold taps?
