Bruce and all,

I know that your arrival in Portland is too late to match up with Hugh 
McLaughlin for sharing ride with him.   Maybe others will contact you.

I have been to Crater Lake and it is FANTASTIC.  Even if not 
pre-arranged, some people at the Char gatthering might want to join you 
on that 1 day adventure.

Your message said you are returning to Portland on the 18th (which is 
actually your arrival date).   You probably meant Aug 25 or 26. There 
will be numerous people at the USBI meeting who might be seeking a ride 
on either date.

Thanks for sharing your travel plans and for your willingness to assist 
others.

Paul
