D-Sub Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Ive not been following the SES thread, and theres way too much to read now. Apologies in advance for starting another one:) anyway...is anyone from OR goin to SES? If so...how? Portland to Denver? Id have to figure how to get from Bend...to portland...? cost of travel might make the whole thing prohibitive. COULD drive, but...its over 1000 miles...in the winter...not exactly appealing especially since I dont have 4WD any thoughts from PNWesters?

Mike T Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 ... there are several options for direct flights PDX-DEN. There are shuttle services that will get you from Bend to PDX. You can take a puddle jumper, Horizon or United but not sure how much gear they will let you bring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikerdad Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I'm flying direct from Medford to Denver but, on the way back, I'll be going from Denver to Portland and then to Medford. So, there must be flights from Portland to Denver. I wouldn't think it would be terribly expensive. I used United frequent flyers (25,000) so I don't remember what the cost was.

D-Sub Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 oh..its not the portland to Denver part that makes it more expensive, its the Bend to Portland part:) commuter flights are kinda pricey...bus is $160 I believe rt... oh well..if I can do it I will...if not...shucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northcoast Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 D-Sub, You still gonna go? What is the cheapest you have found so far? I'm just trying to get to Denver before the 12th and return anytime after the 15th and the cheapest I've found is $204 by plane and $158 by bus. ________ SIDE EFFECTS FROM ZOLOFT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted January 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Id have to get to Portland first, and then yeah, Denver. I was actually pricing flights from Redmond to Portland, and then Portland to Denver. Id rather just drive to Portland though... Im still wavering on the whole thing, but...Im considering just driving, too. My mom lives about 2 hours southwest of aspen and I could go see her too. OR take a detour up to Steamboat:) its still a possibility though. you set on goin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northcoast Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I would love to go. I got a call from Chris (production manager at Donek) to see if I could join them for at least the first three days. I just got laid off from my construction job and the mountain I work at is closed until we get more snow so time off is not a problem. Coming up with enough cash is another story however. ________ Herbal blends for vaporizer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Sub Posted January 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 yup, the money is the hard part. my idea to drive might not be a good one as Im in a RWD explorer. dunno what roads would be like...never driven out here in the winter really. sure would be fun!

northcoast Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Loads of fun. I usually don't have too much trouble driving a RWD truck (Ranger) but it's also FULL of tools with a canopy and lumber rack. Maybe I'll win the Lotto and we can go on tour visiting all the ski schools. ________ GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northcoast Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 D-Sub, It looks like I will be going. By plane rather than bus so I don't have to miss to much time from work. You still thinking about going? ________ Hare Krishna - Iskcon Forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Sub Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 thanks so much for the offer, man, but its actually many factors combined...money (need a grand minimum), travel, and the fact that my mom is comin the week before for this stupid Bend WinterFest and needs me to work her booth for her.
