@goosehd +/- an hour from the mountains or ocean - hard to beat it

Also Timberline Lodge. Where they filmed the exterior of the lodge for ‘the shining’

@Matt cool! Sounds fun. I’ll likely be around

[SKT]

@Matt totally envious of this trip. We have relatives in Portland and Tigard. Our visits usually revolved around pretty touristy stuff but I loved Powell’s Books, Columbia River Gorge, Hood River, Mt. Hood, Willamette Valley. Love that whole area. And damn there is good beer to be had around every corner

I should be around too. A hang sesh sounds fun!

@SKT sounds to me like you have 9 months to convince your wife you miss your relatives enough for a visit

You can fly Spirit. I hear they don’t even have seats anymore. You just roll around on the floor like my parents van in the 80’s.

Way too much information.....

[Matt]

I actually meant that my brother and I used to travel in the back of the van. It had shag carpet and faux wood paneling inside but no seats. Though I’m sure they shared some intimate moments back there. Before they began to loathe each other.
