One day in Portland

[ODRB]

What Sunday is your pier round?

. . . in the car while his friends drink beer and play in the rain.

I will find a way to get the keys.

First----Milo is in a class by itself, compared to all other courses in/near Portland. Nothing else in the area resembles it.

Second----I live in Gulfport part of the year--it may only rain 3-4 days at a time, but it can rain an inch in 5 minutes. If it rained like that in PDX, everyone and everything would soon be in the Pacific Ocean. It doesn't rain hard in Portland--you won't melt, unless witch you are.
On the other hand, beer's good too.

Well, isn't it technically October 1st to March 12th? But yes, March 4th is typically rainy.

October 15-June 15.

I guess I could throw in a Vibram mold in each class. Just in case.

October 15-June 15.

And just a little to the north in Seattle it's Oct 15 - Oct 14.

Let me change the question a little: Which courses are more representative of disc golf in the Portland area, Hornings/Buxton or Milo/Timber? BTW, we've eeked out some time on Sunday morning to play Pier Park before flying out.

Do we have a schedule yet?

 

[Doofenshmirtz]

Do we have a schedule yet?

Sorta: It looks like you are going to be Ubering over to Blue Lake Regional park when you land on Friday to get in an early round, assuming the Uber driver doesn't shoot you in the back after an argument. Then Mung and I will pick you up, if we can find you and aren't drunk yet, to go check in and start sampling more of the local brews.

Saturday, we will head to Milo and, afterwards, Timber Park. If we have enough time, maybe somwhere else?

Sunday Morning, if not too hungover, we will play Pier Park before heading back to the airport.

All this is subject to group approval, but I'm assuming Mung will be more worried about the beer than the actual playing locations.

Yeah, but isn't Portland rain that kind of wimpy Pacific Northwest rain? You know, not like the real rain that we are used to in Louisiana. Heck, Baton Rouge, New Orleans Lafayette and Lake Charles are all in the Top 10 for average annual rainfall (a distinction held by neither Portland nor Seattle).

Having lived in New Orleans and in Portland -- you get wetter in Louisiana. Heck, you get wetter on a hot day in Louisiana, just from sweat.

PMan: I can probably play Blue Lake with you on the Friday afternoon.

If you're too hungover and don't make it to Pier, you'll have missed an awesome course!

If you make it to pier and aren't hungover, you've missed Portland...

This is highly unlikely.

Duh!

 

[Mung]

Yeah, this West Coast rain is pretty weak. You get more rain in an afternoon thundershower in Louisiana than we get in a month of rain in NorCal.
