I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

I just broke my hand last monday which has now left me with a 6 week vacation. I plan on taking my girl to the portland area, I used to live there (bout 12 years ago) but I havent been for about 3 years(my girl has never been).

What is the weather usually like in jan.? I know it will be cold (compared to san diego)...but will there be snow?? will it rain alot? The reason I ask is because I just bought a new car (so i dont wanna rent a car) but it's a manual (due to my broken hand) I would have to have my girl drive (i dont want her to drive in rain or snow). Depending on the weather we might take a train up( i never done that)


If we catch a train to portland, i would rent a car when we get there (rentals are auto, so i could then drive).

we'd like to drive to seattle then cross to canada (i hear they dont care too much about weed)... about how far is seattle from portland? (i've only been 2 sea. once)


also could anyone from the portland area reccomend any place's to go or see?

ill probly check out a blazer game, and check out some old cities i used to know (tigard,bevorton,lake oswego,portland,or.city....)


ill be up there for a week (maybe longer) i hope theres somethin 2 do

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

Lol I found Portland to be a really nice city as it isnt to big or to small.Lots of good resteruants,shops to wonder around through etc.I would def live in Portland.

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

Yeah Portland is a lot of fun, I would like to explore Seattle more

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

yeah portland is real nice, thats why im taking my girl up there....(we might move up there 1 day).


about how far is seattle from portland??

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

if youre comoing up from san diego and go past the bay area, and you happen to come on a friday or saturday night i'll take you to the oakland street races.

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

For sure i have only spent one night there and most of that time was at a Mariners game.Seattle seamed pretty cool other then the freeway going through the middle of downtown :S There is some really good markets and seafood places i have heard from others.

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

id much rather live in portland than seattle anyday, never downtown but outside of town would be fine, people cannot ------- drive in seattle thats all i must say, o yea and a word of advice in rush hour, just pull out infront of the nicer cars, they are the ones that will stop for you, not some ol temp scottsis moms drivin. :6

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

I don't know if you like beer or not, but Portland has more brewpubs than any other city in the Nation.

I could recommend a few if that is your thing. I would definately hit up the Horse Brass Pub, it's the most famous pub in Portland. There are a few others that I can recommend if you want.

There's a ton of stuff to do here depending on what you are in to, like if you skate you should hit up the Burnside skate park etc.

Oh, and I wouldn't worry about snow, most likely it will just be raining and overcast.

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

yea portlands also gota lota titty bars

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

from portland to seattle is like 175 miles. in seattle, there's a cool resteraunt called elliot's. its right on the water, and you can take a ride on a private yacht, or eat out on a little pier. its pretty cool.

took my g/f there for our anniversary. i got laid that night :y ;D

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

just remember after jan 1 07 you WILL NEED a passport just to go to canada. (U.S. law not canadia's)

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

we didn't get snow.

today was dry as can be and blue skies, cold as a mother fucker tho

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

Hell yeah it was. Perfect day for the u-pull-it. ;D

I finally picked up some ---- that I've needed for a while.

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

I need to hit up some of those brewpubs you were talking about.

Have you ever been to the Ram in Salem? If you ever go get a steak with the Fire Rub. Its been since last superbowl and I still think about that steak daily.

Speaking of that, I have a couple of half gallon jugs from there, they're really cool lookin. You have any use for them? They might be good for your homebrew action, speaking of which I still need to get the hook up on some of that.

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

ok now i have a better idea of when ill be up north. i plan on driving (from the real so-cal) and i should be in portland around jan 7th....i think ill go to seattle around the 10th. also i found out about the passport issue: you can still walk to mexico and canada (need a passport if you fly) untill '09.


i've been wathing the news (about all the storms) is that bad weather around portland area? if not could someone tell me what portland weather is like now?

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

we had some windstorms roll thru but thats long since over, now its just cold

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

With the new pasport law can u still drive over the border without one?

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

last time i was in the portland area i had a ------- blast. went to a place called "The Dolphin" and "Acropalas" or somethign like that. take you chic there, garentee you will both have a good time ;D

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

If you are going to hit up any strip clubs, head out to Stars in Beaverton. That's the one we usually go to, very nice!!

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

Gotta love the Acropolis...cheap steak.

Strip club owner who also owns a cattle ranch, anyone? Two very lovely worlds combined.

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

i didn't eat when i was there but the drinks were nice and so were the ladys

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

cool so you guys wernt in the "lost power" area? so besides cold, is it dry(no rain)?yeah you can drive also (just cant fly across w/o a passport). i just looked into that because i wanna try to cross to canada(never bin that far north) but since i would be in a rental car(cant drive it across the border) ill have to catch a cab or a trainwhat are those place's? strip clubs or restaurants?.....ill have to get the name of it; but theres a restaurant in portland (founf this on weatherchanel.com) thats overlooks the water and it's a jazz bistro(jazz music bistro type grub) (never done ---- like that) but we havent been to a stripclub since las vegas ;)ill keep that in mind. i used to go to bever town alot(back in the day) my dad would go to the "best bet" so id roll to wunderland or that lil mallok i see a steak place, is the strip club near the restaurant? (here in san diego there's a guy who own's 2 sports bars("the bull-pen") and 2 strip clubs("cheetahs") how much do cover fee's and drinks run in ore? also is the naked law like vegas?.....if theres alcohol it's only topless?

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

it's completeley naked and they serve drinks and food i guess

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

i donno if its still like that. but you dont go to burnside unless you are basically damn near pro or you know alot of people there. you will get run out of there faster than a ------ in hitler's bedroom

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

No no no, the Acropolis IS the strip bar AND the steak house. Butt naked sluts in your face and a filet mignion too.

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

You just have to be careful. And you better respect the locals or you will get your ass kicked.

If you don't feel comfortable skating aggressively on a park with a lot of other people going at the same time, then it's best to go in the early morning.

But yeah I agree, it's kind of a crazy place. I was in a few fights down there, got knocked out cold once. It's all part of the burnside experience though.

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

HELLL YEAH! I have to agree to that. I go to Portland State. I have to deal with this ---- every single day!! One of these days i'm seriously gonna run over some of those damn protesters.

yea if you come up here. be prepared for Cold weather. We been stuck in the 30's for the last week or so. pretty fukn COLD! There's quite a few nice scenic places to go. but its too cold this time of year.

Re: I plan on going to the northwest in jan. (n.w. guys need info)
 

wow thats a + for the n.w.im not a skater so i wont worry bout the skatepark ;Dnow thats pretty ------ cool, now thats a goal to make it there on my trip :ywell i wish i could go when the weather is better...it just happend because i broke my hand and i cant work for a few more weeks (so i figured why not take a trip)



anyone in the portland area with weed hook-ups? im cali legal but ill be up there for a week so i might run low (not to mention the n.w. should grow nice bud.
