Hey perro great advise. I will look into it. My main man Hot shoe that is funny (Ha-Ha-Ha) I agree I think she will make it as well. I have traveled both the santiam and MT. hood route in other vehicles. My mothers story of us going off of the santiam and my sister crawling over my mom and I before we fell over the cliff to the river made my wife want to travel the flatest way possible. Which would be vear of weed and take it through Bend oregon. Then I could pay my respects to my Grandfather and Grandmothers grave on the trip as well. **** I always have made it over the passes of mount Hood in everything I have drivin,But the girl loaded makes me shifart...Ha Ha. hey Micron When I moved here to cali I actually took those I-5 mountan ranges and there were actually people pushing the exact car and mini van I was hauling up the pass.That is not what I want to go down the pass. And the fish caught at the rest stop with the beuty alone was amazing when we crossed over to klamouth.Thank you partner.Micron if you saw what I saw (my sisters *** saying goodbye) You would say I -5 is only if you have family in the line to visit, Thanks though. My pics will be up later guys sorry.
