I don't know if I'd recommend trying it a night for the 1st time, but you are right it is a very nice 'twisty-turvy' road!!
That's pretty much how I remembered it, but it's been 5 years since I was down that far west. Klickitat canyon from Lyle along the river is a nice drive to. Very scenic. Might have to take a drive this weekend.

Thanks, it took a long time, like a whole 17 seconds for it to grow on me the first time I saw it.

First saw it Sunday. Drove it Monday. Bought it Tuesday. Been grinning ever since.

Doesn't take me long to make decisions.

Occasionally I inadvertently stumble upon something good. I love it when that happens.

It didn't look so great this morning after rain & wind last night. Still drove good though.
