The forecast has changed and it looks like it's going to be gustier.  We plan on flying there this summer, though. Keep your eyes peeled.

Forecasts always change...

Looks like Prairie Mt could be good this afternoon. But likely a little late for Portland area pilots to get there in time and would be a push even for me if I headed straight to launch and had a driver lined up.

CLO might work, but it's a bit northy in the forecast. Never know if you don't go...

Parkdale? Good site we flew for years but mostly in the fall when gorge winds decreased and the North winds in the valley were not as strong. Otherwise, a serious ass kicking with mixing air was possible. Couple face plants after launches and landings. Several stories including myself when control was an issue from about launch altitude to LZ when you decide come down to land. 
Can we drive all the way up to launch like we use to? It was easily reachable in my Astrovan back then, only needed high clearance. Ray

That was my favorite place to fly for many years. Haven't been back in a while: kids, work, etc. 
We played close attention to the forecast, and as such, never seemed to have problems. It was always reachable. FWD /clearance from the East, but I also drove up the South side with Terry Taggart once in a 2wd.
