So, if it is one and a half, what does that make you?  :P

one = Drago
and a half = me (I am almost approved, it isn;t even funny)

So it looks like a tie between 8/15 and 8/16 I flipped a challenge coin and the 8/15 won.  Everyone okay with that?

I'd say "Make it so", but that'd be a Trek reference.... ;)

Here is a map of parks in Portland.  If I may suggest some were close to the water.

The park we were at last year was free.... just saying.

Council Crest Park - the highest point of Portland. Check it out.

This is good, if I can get a little help with the park selection that would be great since I have never been to any of them.  If last years was good enough I would not have a problem with that.

If there's enough time to get something affordable, I'd rather get a park with a more defined area. Maybe something in between last year's free spot and the covered area by the Willamette that we got in 2006.

I'd be happy to donate some money to the cause...

Willamette Park was rather nice.  It's over on SW Macadam near the Sellwood Bridge (right by the OPB offices).  Because it is a State park and not entirely free, I'd be willing to chip in for it:)

This is the part where I will need help by someone in the Portland area because I don't think I can get up there again before the picnic.

The problem is finding a spot that hasn't been reserved already. The other thing is that with it being so close to the target date, the fees tend to be higher, as well... based on what I was able to determine last year.

Oomar posted a link that must of had 40+ parks listed, I would think that they all can't be booked.  If someone lives near a free community park that is first come first serve type, all we would need is for someone to show up early and reserve a spot for us.  We have almost 4 weeks to identify a target and secure it for our members.
