highly reccomended drive

[SakoTGrimes]

I drove up to Anderson Butte today, with my Raleigh in the back. The idea was to ride to the top of the 5 or so mile and blast back down it at frightening speeds. Shortly after starting up the hill, I decided to just drive the whole way due to being a wimp. Anyway... I get to a point where there's no more elevation to climb on the main road, but there's lots of side roads that look fun. Most are private property, but maybe 5 are not. I knew my Subaru was good. I knew it was well-built and more capable than your average station wagon. But before today I never really knew how freakin amazing it was. Of course the pictures make a 45* angle look more like 20 and so on. When I climbed that gravel pile I couldn't see the ground, discouraging me from climbing one twice it's size. The Butte is in the Jacksonville, OR area, off of Griffin Creek road. Turn left just before a sign that says "Semi traffic not reccomended" Do it! Do it now!
