Blogger picnic update #5
Update: Click here for a report on the Blogger Picnic!
The park that I had previously reserved was not available on July 30th, so I’ve moved the blogger picnic to Mt. Scott park, picnic area D. Here is the park on Google maps. Directions to Mt. Scott park:
From the westside:
Take Hwy 26 east through downtown Portland to I-84 east
Take I-84 east to I-205 south
Exit I-205 at SE Foster Rd, turn right at the bottom of the off-ramp
Take SE Foster Rd to SE 72nd Ave, turn left onto SE 72nd Ave.

Feel free to email me (link is at the top left of this page) for any more specific info, or if you would like my phone number for more specific directions, or whatever.
The park has an indoor public pool, which is open on Saturdays from 1:00-6:30. The cost is $2.50 for little kids, $3.00 for teens, and $3.75 for adults, so bring your suits if you think you may want go in for a dip.
Plan to show up at about noon or so. I have picnic area D reserved all day, so we can goof around all we want. I have at least one fun activity planned for everyone, and I may try to get creative and plan more. I also have goodies for all the kids, and prizes for the activity winners.
I will be supplying hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, condiments, plates, cups, napkins, and utensils, as well as the barbecue stuff (like briquets and starter fluid, etc.) I would really appreciate everyone’s help with the rest of the picnic-type stuff. Here’s a list of what I was thinking:
- Potato salad
- Chips and dips
- Watermelon
- Drinks (soda, juices, bottled water, whatever)
- Anything else you desire (Gardenburgers, chicken, brats)
Please leave a comment here to indicate what you can bring (like a high-tech sign-up sheet), and also to confirm once more who is coming.
