Scott had two rest stops in the route, the first at a park on the Willamette river and the other at the ever popular Bald Peak state park. From there we meandered on down to the Yamhill Bar and Grill for lunch. The weather was so good when we arrived that about half of us decided to dine outside. But typical of Oregon weather in April, by the time we got our menus a bit of a gusty wind had come up and some clouds started to thicken. Most of us did go back to the cars to fetch jackets but none of us gave up our outdoor seating. There was lots of good conversation and laughter at all the tables and the food was very good. We continued to chat for awhile after lunch but noted the temperature had dropped quite a bit and on the far hills we could see heavy rain showers. Yep, time to pay the bill and skeedaddle for home. A couple of folks I talked to later in the week said they had personally met up with  a shower or two  on their way home. Alex and I made the trip completely dry though we continued to see showers going by to our left and right.  I’m sure all of us would like to give Scott Dual a round of applause for his efforts at putting this event together. We can also report that the “Shake Down” had no break downs!
