I'll be in Mexico but they might be there. Nice guys.

I think we spent around 3 hours viewing and saw everything but could spent another 1 or 2 easily.

Ryan - I live very close to you and seeing the Brothers Collection is definitely on my bucket list but flying there for a 1 day car show does seem like a big expense. Have you found other things to do in the area to make a vacation out of it? Feel free to send me a PM if that is better for you?

Charley, can you make any suggestions on what someone who has never been to the area before might find interesting?

Oregon Sightseeing
 

SALEM is on the Main !-5 North/South Freeway (Canada to Mexico)

Assuming that you flew into Portland and rented car, your best vacation choices are:

1) come out to the Coast and drive 101 up to Cannon Beach and other places
(Search Oregon Coast Sightseeing)

2) You could drive into Central OR and Visit CRATER LAKE Natl Park....

Just depends how much $$$ and time you want to invest into looking around the state
of Oregon..........or you could fly into Portland and drive up to Seattle to fly back.........Visiting the Columbia River Gorge, Multnomah Falls, Mt St Helens
and Tacoma/Seattle

Just a matter of time and money for most people.........

I'm a Seattle native if you have specific questions

I gotta wonder. If these guys want a car is it at any cost?

No. They have passed on many cars they wanted because of price. Chuck had great suggestion on stuff to see. I would try to see some giant Redwoods.

World of Speed in Wilsonville, just 20 minutes north of the Brother's. I live an hour away and haven't been, but intend to soon. I've personally spent 4 hours at the Brother's, and you can spend twice that if you choose.

I'm told the new Pope & his Brothers would even like to see this collection some day.

......and depending on the day, you could visit the Woodburn Dragstrip, about half the way in between the two venues.

A wonderful stop 30 min away
