The road reminds me of the Costa Brava north of Barcelona, but I don't recall the smaller waterways. I do know Yamaha has used that route for some model intros.

It's Vista House on the Columbia River in Oregon.  Beautiful spot.

Hmmm..
Vista House, Cedar Vale...
Then off to Canada/Alaska, over to New York for a burger at the Statue, Twin Towers memorial (ask a few sticky questions) and try to get out alive..!
Sounds like a good idea for a trip.

You need us Oregon guys to to help with the route through Oregon.. Need to get off of boring I-84 (Vista house) and get on some of the nicest motorcycle roads you will find anywhere.. (IMO)

 You'll be fine Peter , but a quick look at a map might be helpful . Cedar Vale is in the middle of the country , do a bit of route planning and make the rally . If the very nice Sheila who worked in the local cafe is still around , you two can regale us with stories of OZ .

I always thought the first few hundred miles of I-84 were about the prettiest interstate I've traveled but I'm sure the locals know the really beautiful roads.

Now THAT...! I do not doubt  :bow:  :thumb:
Also the Oz/Kansas connection is striking a chord.
I'd love to turn up with the Wizard of Bungendore..(You may have heard of him..?)
If that girl in the cafe had a nice blue and white dress on, it'd be a slam dunk..

 Just bring the whole dang Ozzie contingent , we have room . We'll show you a world class museum just a few miles away , full of artifacts from AmIn culture , then visit the little museum in Cedar Vale , feed you BBQ on Fri night , catfish and hush puppies on Sat night , and introduce you to Midwest hospitality .

Again not out of the question.
I have paid my deposits for Europe this year and again the destination was decided on the toss of a coin.
Europe or U.S.
Mind you I did have to toss it three times..!

Kind of takes a dump right at the Dalles, until out of Pendleton. If you take a right somewhere along the way, you will hit great roads, and pretty scenery. I am also thinking there is zero reason to go to Oklahoma for a steak, when you can get a great steak right  off of I-84
