Nehalem is pretty close to Portland. If I drive in, can I camp with the airport gang or are the campground people gonna give me crap?

Hey Z,
Airplane camping and pick-up camping are at different locations.
Within walking distance, but you would have to throw your gear over your shoulder and come in the back door .

I plan on trying to sneak in too, I get off work Saturday morning and will be driving down.

I want to make it. I'll try to make it either Friday or Saturday. Hopefully it wont be fogged in. However my experience is: it's either fogged in or really crosswindy.

Well, it's going to be Sat. morning for us. Bringing the fold-up bikes to ride into town for lunch. See if we can get some firewood around here. John and Lora Lee

Not looking good for me, too many honey dues.
If I can get away for a while on Saturday I will bring some fire wood.

Well I am not gonna make it after all, someone called in sick just as I was getting off, so I will be at work for another 24hrs.

You guys have fun, guess I will shoot for McKenzie in September.

Life is good. Cold beer in MAnzanita. Fire in camp. Flying stories.

Back safe at Troutdale. Cheers

I am home safe as well. We had a good group show up, 6 BCP planes and some other new friends as well. The local Fire Dept had a BBQ lunch fundraiser going, and a good time was had at the campfire. I will post some pictures later.
The next on the calendar is Orcas Island (ORS) August 7-8. Here is the trip report from last year. Hope to see some you there.

Back home safe. Glad I took the south route back, if only to see something different.

Good to see everyone and hope as many can make it to Orcas.

Had a blast! Good to see everyone again.
Part of my honey due list this week end was to cook breakfast Sunday morning when I got back.
Got home a little before 2:00 pm, They were so hungry by then I couldn't mess it up.
