A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but not the most fun for driving enthusiasts. This drive is a trip to the quaint hamlet of Manzanita on the beautiful Oregon coast over some interesting and novel entertaining roads. Enjoy the 125 mile trip with an excellent combination of twists and turns in addition to some nice rural and forest scenery in the north Willamette valley and coast range. We’ll be traveling over a less familiar paved route over the coast range partly along the Nestukka River.

We will arrive in Manzanita around lunch time at San Dune Pub. (http://www.sandunepub.com/).  This is a 21 and over establishment. For anyone bringing children, there are other restaurants located in the immediate area. This is a one way tour. This drive is for BMW CCA members only. Passengers do not need to be members.

We will gather for a driver’s meet starting at 8:30 and departure at 9:00. We recommend moderation in the use of caffeine prior to departure. There will be rest stops along the way.
