I've been doing this ride several times a year since around 2005. I've got
pictures of some of the earlier rides salted away in the wayback machine somewhere.
One of these days I'll get around to posting them.

Washington State Highway 14 east to White Salmon. Left (North) on 141 to BZ Corner
Right onto the BZ-Glenwood Hwy to Glenwood. Turn right at Glenwood and follow the
highway along the Klickitat River (great views!) to the junction of hwy 142. Right
(west) on 142 to Lyle (more great views!). State Highway 14 west back to Portland.


If you'd like to tag along, E-mail me for assembly point times and locations.



The young couple who bought the place from Jerry couldn't make a go of it so they
sold it. The new owner couldn't make it either. The joint is now closed looking
for someone to take it on as a lease. It's a shame because both sets of new owners
worked very hard to make the place a success. We were there just before they closed
in late October, 2014. There was no indication of problems when we enjoyed what was
to be our last yummy club sandwich and fries there.

Hopefully the joint will re-open so that I can get a yummy club sandwich and fries
again when we come by in the future. But that's questionable to say the least. The
restaurant in BZ Corner used to be pretty good but after a succession of owners
the place seems to be permanently closed now. There's a half way decent restaurant
in Trout Lake but other than that you have to go to Goldendale or Bingen to find a
good meal (Sodbusters or Killer Burger).

November, 2014 UPDATE: The place has yet another new owner! They've renamed the
motel, market and fuel business "Glenwood Station". They apparently have no plans
to re-open the restaurant and are hoping to find someone who will lease the space.
We shall see I guess.


July, 2015 UPDATE: A couple of guys who own a logging company bought the
place for cash..... since the previous owners couldn't make a go of the place
I'm guessing they got it for a very good price. So... the restaurant is open
again but with a very limited menu. They still have a club sandwich but will
only make it on a french roll.... the cook claims they don't have any bread
in the place...... yeah, right. But I have to say that his french roll
club sandwich is quite tasty which made me happy. I hope these guys can
keep the joint open for a few more years.




DIRECTIONS



It started out a little chilly but turned into a gorgeous, bluebird
end of Summer Saturday. Made the obligatory stop at Hamilton Landing.




This picture was taken just after some Obama-loving whore forced me
off the road while (illegally) passing a long string of vehicles in her
underpowered shitbox. May she die spitting up blood while vultures poke
her eyes out.










Had a nice club sandwich at Glenwood Station. I suspect the roads up
here will be ice and snow covered soon.




Found another magical waterfall about five miles North of Glenwood.



The view of Mount Adams was obscured North of Glenwood.



Nice view of the Gorge just East of Hood River. Seems like we were just here
last weekend. Oh yeah... we were...
