I'm curious, what roads did you take?  I think Oregon has much
more fun roads than Washington.  My favorites are highway 34,
philomath to newport (with a side trip up and down mary's peak),
and a highway (242?) that is only open a few months out of the
year, from sisters to (eventually) eugene.

I took a weekend last year to drive the volcano chain from Sisters
to Mt Baker in Washington, and had a great time.  Whenever
anybody in Oregon saw me zipping along in my red jellybean,
they pulled over as soon as they could, often before I caught up
with them.

I remember one other fun stretch of road, headed north from the
top of Mt Hood.  One long straight steep downhill road with excellent
visibility, and nobody on it (late sunday afternoon).  I pink-lined the
engine in 5th gear (120 mph!), but I have no desire to do that again.
Curves are much more fun.
