Location: East Wenatchee, WA | Stayed at the McMinnimins Edgefield. That was very interesting. Don't know that I would want to be there a day by myself, but very fascinating place.
There is one in downtown portland, I can't remember the name of it, but an old motel that was upgraded in a rather grand style and it was very remarkable and walking distance to all kinds of "weird" and interesting Portland stuff downtown. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | The McMenimans on the east side of town is worth a visit. Kind of like staying in a museum, but it's not too close downtown. If SWMBO is into outlet malls, you could stay at the old poor farm, drop her off at the outlet mall in Troutdale on the way in and everybody's happy. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Ooh, Mrs. Woody liked the idea of getting out of Podunk in August. Thanks for the leads on places to stay!
The perfect mix is the Inn, Brewery, Spa. |

It looks like Tacoma Factory Tour on Friday and Hillsboro OFC on Saturday.
Trapesing and traversing the Oregon Territory on Sunday. |

Location: Central Massachusetts | fillhixx, PM sent. Anybody else who needs the address shoot me or Mark a PM as Gh1 is out this week roaming the Oregon desert. Of course, after this week, you can hit him up directly.
I have the name and email address of the local Kaman rep, and I just shot him an invite. It would be very cool if he can make it. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Tim, do you have the Book back from the shop and will you bring it? Since I have a space problem, people are just going to have to believe that I have all these guitars. Everyone trusts lawyers, right? When you hear me play, you might wonder if I have any guitars. |
