Shelly and I have decided it is time for us to lead a drive. We are looking for feedback, but the general idea is a drive to the Edgefield  Inn in Troutdale Oregon ( just east of Portland). It is a McMenamins property with lots of activities and fun. We are targeting some next spring April-May 2013 time frame.

initial itinerary is:
Meet Saturday morning Federal Way/Tacoma area
Fun drive to Edgefield (lunch TBD, maybe picnic)
arrive Saturday early evening at Edgefield
Buffet dinner for everyone in one of their banquet rooms

Sunday morning activities:
Golf on one of their par-3 courses
Spa Time. 
Drive to Multinomah falls and hike
Vege on the porch with a brandy and book and do nothing
Organized lunch ?
Sunday afternoon caravan or drive independently back up I-5 to home

We have made contact with Edgefield and hope to put some more concrete numbers together.

Initial estimates on costs:
Rooms $60-$80 
Saturday lunch $10?
Saturday dinner $20-$30
Sunday lunch $15?

We are looking for feedback on both activities and cost. We are trying to keep this a fun and inexpensive get-away.

I would also like to get a count of who might be interested. There is no obligation, we are just looking at some rough numbers we can use when we talk to Edgefield.

BIG Thumbs UpTHANKSThumbs Up Gordon and Shelly for stepping up and volunteering to put a drive together - and it sounds like a good one! I'm reasonabley sure WOODSTOCK and CINIMIN woule be in - if we can decide which car to take...
 
(Minor correction to your post - I think it should be SATURDAY dinner) But the prices look reasonable.

I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

So far the count is:
garumph - Gordon & Shelly
Cinimin - Jack & Linda
catlvr2 - Leanne & (sorry forgot your husband's name)
SMOG - ?
MiniCharley - Dean & Belinda
leogetz - Leo & Erin
Peabody - John & Mavourneen
HammyGirl -
Hapa Haole - Brenda and Steve (tentative)
Crikket - Glen and Linda
Twistr - Karin and Karen

SMOG will be there with one possible exception.  We have a funeral/memorial service to attend in the southern sierras about the same time and that date is not set yet.


I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.
