My wife makes weekly trips From Portland to Salem, OR. I'm trying to free up a larger part of the family budget for 914 parts. I'd like to bribe the wife with the possiblity of fun, top-down drives to Salem instead of her current slog down I-5. All she would need to do is cut loose some cash and let me disappear to the garage. You catch more flies with honey, right?

Can anyone recommend 914-worthy routes between Portland and Salem? I'm in NE Portland and would like to find something interesting, but not get the trip much over 2 hours.

Thanks!
