Too true, Christina.  However, you have some historic routes as do 
we.  One of my fondest automotive moments was attending the 
"Gathering of the Faithful" the big annual MG meet which was held at 
Stevenson, WA in '96.  I had just finished restoring my MGB so my 
wife and I decided to attend the meet.  We had a marvellous day on 
the tour where we travelled the existing stretches of the Lincoln 
Highway above the Columbia and made our way by back roads and winding 
byways right into Portland, then across the river and back on the 
Washington side.  Great history and a great experience.
