Second thread to retry getting an Oregon GTG going. The first try fell apart when alot of people couldn't make it.
So in August, what is a good time for everybody?
Weekdays or weekends(Saturdays)?
What days are you available?
What days are you not?

Weekends work better for me
Available for a GTG from August 5th to August 22rd.

Weekends better for me/my dad too, Thomas.
Any time Aug. 1st thru the 23rd, I guess, since we can't have it after then. :)
Thanks for getting this going again!

edit: We are still thinking about Silver Falls, right?

ok, a little bump! here.

If we can make it on a weekend, then Becky and I are good-to-go.

Silver Falls?

Weekends are sounding like they'll work best.
I think Silver Falls, still...Right, Thomas?

yup. Silver Falls is good:

How does either Saturday the 6th, 13th, or 20th sound?

Which one has the best weather? :)

Any of those dates work for me, I think...the 3rd is my bday, but we won't be doing anything on that Saturday (6th), I don't think. :)

(Oh, and thanks for the fav, Thomas! I knew there was some reason I kept you in my fav photogs...Lol, j/k...And just think, everyone else hated that pic!)

What about the other Oregon DPC'ers?

I know that there are more of you out there. Do you want an engraved invitation, or what? :)

Ryan = hermit

sort of.

I am working 6 days a week and have tuesdays off*. My last day of work (Sun Aug. 21) is a week before I leave for round 2 of college. It sounds like the last GTG was privelage not just in that I got to meet the rest of you, but that, well, I GOT the chance to do so. If it were here on the coast again, I could try and make it after work or something, but Silver Falls I would not be able to make.

Sorry guys, have a good one without me.

do they have a beautiful fall over there? I would love to fly over there, but need at least a month to book a flight.

Lots of gorgeous falls around the gorge and Portland...But I think a month would be a little late... :(

I think we should set the official date for Saturday, August 20th. Because the 13th is 5 days from now, and that may be a little soon to get as many people as possible.

@Ryan - Could you get that Saturday off, or at least get a few hours off for the GTG?

I dunno. Saturday's are the highest traffic days (in terms of business). I doubt my boss would be happy...I'll ask though....

C'mon Ryan, don't be a wuss! Bosses are supposed to be unhappy. I believe it's part of their job description.
