Pacific Northwest Meet This Spring June 14, 2009

[Baxman]

Best wishes for a full recovery for your family member, Keith.

Like I said about 50 posts back, I was looking forward to passing the "VX meet baton". No one has picked up where Keith left off. I will organize a simple meet, but only if there is interest.

If you are on-board for a meet June 14 please confim here with your hometown, even if you have already rsvp'd above.

Well, That makes five. Not a great showing for two states, but I'm willing. Maybe we can encourage others to make it, too.

Sunday, June 14 meet at the Premium Factory Outlet Mall just off I-84 In Troutdale at 10 am. We'll chat & show while waiting for stragglers. Leave by 11 for The Portland Women's Forum State Park (a scenic Viewpoint with a killer view) via the Old Scenic Highway. The highway was built with picks and shovels by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression and is considered an engineering marvel. More show and tell at the viewpoint, and pictures. If there's time, we could continue east to Crown Point and Multnomah Falls. Return to Troutdale by 3pm for a late lunch/early dinner at historic Tad's Chicken and Dumplings http://www.tadschicdump.com/ on the Sandy River. Not too far from the Outlet Mall if any shoppers need to be picked up before dinner.

That should get even the most distant VX'r home at a decent hour, despite fighting Sunday evening traffic.
