Gauging interest: Couple of ideas for meet/drives in Oregon

So I came up with a couple of ideas for some drives to do down here in Oregon, and I figured I'd post on here and see how many of you would be interested:

First idea is here in Linn County we have a pretty good number of covered bridges, and there is a very scenic "Covered Bridge Tour Route" down here that would be pretty cool for an autumn drive, or even winter for that matter since it doesn't snow too much down here.

Second idea is like a winery tour, since there are a crapload of wineries down here, there are also quite a few in Douglas County which is about 100 miles south of Albany or about 180 miles south of Portland. The community college in Roseburg has a winery program, and my father in law is part of it so I'm sure if I talked to him he could probably help me get something together, maybe even arrange some winery tours. There are some micro breweries down there as well, and a pretty cool old soda fountain in Oakland, and on Saturdays at 4pm is the Metz Hill Country Auction which is pretty interesting, they have pretty much everything there for you bargain hunters! (Kinda hard getting furniture home in an SVX though)

Not sure of any exact dates yet, heck could even wait until Spring do do it depending on interest. Just let me know what y'all think!
