Okay this is the way I see it. For us folks come up from the south. Leaving friday night at around 7PM from Jantzen Beach. Jantzen beach is the last Exit on I5 before crossing the Columbia into WA. For those of you who want to convoy and meet up, I plan on cruising around 52mph, I have found setting the hand throttle on flats @ 52 gives ya enough power to maintain speed on all but 2 hills on the way to Aarons, Yet keeps my truck from overspeeding on any downhills. My truck sounds alot happier @ 52 then 56, and the differance between Portland and Aarons at that speed, is less then 3 minutes. I plan on having a 32ft trailer in tow, so I might a tad slower then normal.
I figure all you guys coming up from the south, we can try to time it so we all arrive around the same time at Jantzen beach, If your running behind, Let me know, Ill hand out my phone number and I'll gladly wait until ya arrive. Those of you north of Portland who want to fall in, Let me know and we can try to work out a time to roll down an on ramp to the freeway for you to meet up with us.
Just so we are clear, if ya wana roll up friday, post it here so we can get a headcount on whos going to convoy up. 52 would be ideal cruising speed, Unless of corse we get a M38 or M37 or any MV that requires us to go slower. Let me know.
My number is 503-318-6756, and If its not obvious, my name is in fact Josh.
I guess I can try to answer any questions, if needed
