Loren O Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 We will be having a fun run to Pacific City, Oregon Sunday,July 17th, 2016. This is the beach where the Dory launch is. Cars are allowed to park on the beach, which should provide some great photo opportunities. as always, this is a family Friendly event, open to anyone who likes Datsuns. it is not required to be a member of any particular club. I hope you are able to join us. https://www.facebook.com/events/253542771678226/?ti=cl http://pacificcity.org/ At the moment I am leaning towards meeting at the rest stop between Wilsonville, and Woodburn, around 6am, so we can get down to Pacific City, in time to enjoy the beach, before we have to head back. I'm sure there will be other meet up locations posted before the day of the fun run. 6 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 What are high and low tide that day? A suggestion...go through forest grave and banks from 26. The whole route all the way in to tillamook is like a race track. Fun drive. 2 Quote Link to comment

The whole route all the way in to tillamook is like a race track. Fun drive. I hadn't thought to check the tides. I probably should do that. Also,thanks for the advice on the route! I do hope to make it a Fun drive for everyone. We are going to try to take Hwy 101 as much as possible too. Quote Link to comment

I hadn't seen a post about the memorial meet for Datdoug,until now,or we would not have chosen the same date.I will openly say (and I am sure Al would agree),that if ANYONE feels they have to make a choice between Datdoug's memorial meet,& our fun run, please feel free to choose Datdoug's memorial! We will have other fun runs,but there will never be another Datdoug. 2 Quote Link to comment
