    June 29th to July 3rd. He is around 30 years old, a sports fan from back east. What are some things to do with him. There are no timbers games, blazers are out of season. We will hike, but what else?

    Playing the cubs on the 30th, good idea. I haven't gone to a baseball game in 25 years. What type of tickets should I get? How much?

    Take him up to Ski Bowl. You can Alpine Slide down, mountain bike down and Malibu Grand Prix is moving up there.

    Deep sea fishing would also be fun.

    See if HCP is out of town and you can take over to his house and get him laid.

    good ideas, but deep sea fishing would be getting more pricey then I want.
    He had issues with his immune system as a child, I don't know if his body could handle the shock.

    If you really want to do a day trip go to Crater Lake. Do some hiking there.

    Really? I just thought it would be three four hundred. That's totally doable.

    Love crater lake, but it's a bit far. Also, I'm going there later this summer with my nephew. There are a ton of beautiful hikes closer, so I'm sure we will do some of them.

    I went with HomerLovesKoolaid during spring break and had a blast. I pm'd him to tell you the name of the company he uses. He knows the guy who runs it.

    Rent a sail boat on the Columbia for a day?
    Catch a Timbers or Thorns game? (I hate soccer, but most don't)
