Bush Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hey guys, my one year anniversery is this Sunday. I want to take Mrs Bush on a picnic somewhere off the beaten path. Any ideas? I live in Oregon City and would like to keep it within an hour or two drive. For a brief second, I thought I could go to Blue Lake and claim ignorance that I knew the meet was going on, but I dont want to push my luck lol Also, it needs to be lowered truck friendly to get to. Maybe a waterfall, or a lake, pond, whatever. Hopefully something every sunday driver is not going to. thanks for any ideas Quote Link to comment

Bush Posted August 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Ya, I thought of that, but she was there with her girl scouts a few weeks back and said it was a madhouse. I was hoping to find something a bit more off the beaten path. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Ecola state park in Cannon Beach man... The rock that the Goonies sailed the ship thru (its really not that big lol) Quote Link to comment
Hardwyre Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I believe the International Rose Gardens in Portland are in bloom right now. Can be a little busy at times, but it's not hard to find a quiet place and have a picnic. People are pretty courteous there and won't interrupt your game. Plus the gardens are free admission :) Quote Link to comment
crackerjack69 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 You can rent a paddle boat at Promontory Park for cheap, me an my girly had fun. There's a cool tunnel that goes under the highway, and then a kinda lagoon area w/ a sweet rope swing! Alot of people out on the lake though :( Alot of falls around Multnomah falls that are private, if you hike way in, there's cool spots under falls no one goes to. Most folks just pansy out and go to the main ones. Worth the hike, but keep an eye on the clock, I gets friggin DARK out there once sun sets lol. Hope you's twos have fun! 1 Quote Link to comment

We go there at least every fathers day .As i write this i am thinking maybe i should drive the troop there myself this weekend. Quote Link to comment
