| I found it! Thanks. another question though - How long of a drive is it from p'town. I am actually in stevenson, so trying to figure out how long it will take me to get there. No wind here in the gorge today. |

| From West Portland it takes me about 1:20 minutes. Sometimes I go hwy 30 all the way and sometimes I take I-5 to Longview, cross the bridge and hit hwy 30. |

| So, coming from stevenson on wa-14, I could take wa-14 to I-205 and then up to longview and cross over. So, I am probably looking at a 2 hour travel time. Does that sound right? |

| 2hrs would be about right. Jump on 84 to 205 if you want to make the best time. |

coming from stevenson will definitely take you longer. you might be able to cut to a 1.5 hours if you throttle on 1-205 and 1-5.
not sure what the directions look like that you found but i always bang a right off of hwy 30 at mile marker 66, cross the tracks and bang another right, wrap around the pulp trees and cross the canal bridge and then bang a left. head straight to the water and then bang a left and in about a .25 mile you'll see the parking area.
it shoudl be good there today. i'll see a out there around 2pm. |

| Here's the thing. I have to work until 4pm. Would go straight there - so I am trying to figure out if the wind will hold from 6-8pm. I have a 7m kite but only 126 lbs.... |
