ACrop Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Hello, I am traveling with the family to Oregon in late June for a reunion. We are hoping to extend for fun, so I am looking for a place that: *Is fun and family friendly *Won't break the bank *Is near some good flying fields (although we may downplay that part a bit, you know it is important). Anyone have a town or region that they would steer me towards or away from?? Any Oregon things I should be sure to hit? Thanks!

makatakam Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 John Barresi is in the Portland area. He will probably chime in here. If anybody knows Oregon...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACrop Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yeah, was going to ask him this weekend. But while JB is the font of all knowledge, I figured asking everyone would be polite and maybe enlightening... Who knows maybe I would find a flyer to meet up with??Sent from my Nexus 5X using KiteLife mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Dowler Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Where about are you going in Oregon? Portland is the major city, but there are many other places to see! PS: when in June? Lincoln City Kite Fest June 24 + 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettgrant99 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I am not that familiar with Oregon. For something new, my family rented a cabin in Fort Stevens State Park over New Years. We enjoyed it. The cost was minimal, but this was during the winter. We were walking distance (1 mile) from the beach. My kids (19 - 13) spent a fair amount of time jumping off of the dunes and exploring the fort. However, they enjoy that kind of thing over Disneyland type attractions. It was dead still most of the time that we were there, so I didn't bother to fly anything. I can sit on a beach and watch the waves for hours, I know that not everyone is like that. There were also things to do in Astoria, and of course, the other Oregon beaches are nearby. Eastern Oregon has high desert, so it is completely different. Klamath Falls was pretty windy, but gusty. That was so long ago, I think that I only had the Trlby Stack. I don't think that I would do Ashland during the Shakespeare Festival, but I tend to avoid crowds and Shakespeare.

Lincoln City Kite Fest June 24 + 25 Unfortunately I found out about the kite festival after the dates were set and the reunion is that weekend and too far away. Gotta go as that is the reason for traveling. Will have to make a point to look at festival dates earlier in the year next year.

Beauty and the beast fits our aged kids nicely. And wouldn't it be nice to have another story where thier first exposure to it wasn't Disney? Thanks.Sent from my Nexus 5X using KiteLife mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I can find deals.Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACrop Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Ok, thanks. Right now we are struggling to find a place to stay that seems reasonable. Seems it is high season and I don't know anyone to find the sweet deals[emoji6]Sent from my Nexus 5X using KiteLife mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
