Busy 36hrs so far in the north west. After arriving last night and driving to the hotel, we were up early and heading into the forests for a few hours testing. As I mentioned, I really like the Oregon/Washington part of the country and part of it might be as the forests and landscapes very closely resemble the forests at home. Tall straight pine trees, thousands of them, and that constant feeling that its about to rain, I think that must be why I felt at home...!
Successful test this morning finished off with a late lunch at the Brooklyn Tavern. A 1920's forestry workers bar, the kind of place you just don't see anymore, it was great!
No real dramas with the car but you know the best bit of the day? Home cooked food by yet more friendly and hospitable Americans; the type that you meet one day, figure out a common interest, and get an invite to treat their place as your own the next. Nice.
Roads are great from what i've seen and heard so far. Technical stages, real forest roads; narrow, blind, flowing and hard to make good pacenotes on!
Easy day tomorrow now the official shakedown has been cancelled,
Next update after recce. But as I write this im very much looking forward to getting out there on saturday morning and going flat out.
