Well, you don't have to do the Onteonta Gorge hike but the drive up the Gorge with easy roadside stops at several impressive waterfalls is something the four year will likely enjoy (if he is good about sitting in the car to get places).

Persistent rain is likely in April so be prepared for that.

Not to worry. If you are staying Anywhere in Downtown Portland you would be hard pressed to find a hotel that is not within 2 blocks of a bus/trolly/lightrail line.

My sisters both played some 3D version of it where you get to do all sorts of cool things. The computers we had in elementary school looked like that, but we didn't play OT. I didn't know they made a text based one.

We didn't have computers at school, Selectric anyone?

Alex · 01-22-2007, 08:05 PM

Yes, I took high school typing class on IBM Selectrics, though we did have some computers around.

During my school years all computer were being used to put a man on the moon, out smart the Rooskies, and calculate pi

Ha, we did the Oregon Trail all text book. The closest thing we got to technology was working the register in the student store. There was one huge computer in the counselors office.

It was a fun game. I remember a girl got extra credit for bringing in home made beef jerkey. Mmm mmmm.

Oh, Portland. We drove through it. :0)
