[AT] Portland

[Herb Metz]

Another option, however more expensive.
Son Scott and I spent two days at Portland August 2013 show (after several 
years absence).  I, likewise, don't get around very well.  A golf cart 
business from Kokomo(?) had a temporary setup just a block from main gate; 
$65/day.   Reservations suggested if you go this route.   Made the 
difference for me from just being there to really being able to enjoy the 
hospitality and see the show.

Yes, the shuttles are still running. Don’t be bashful about a riding 
vehicle. Larger vehicles such as Gators or atv are not permitted nor any 2 
or 3 wheeler. We will all be glad to  help you.

Thanks guys. Interesting read Dave.
Are they still running shuttles? I don't really have to ride all of the
time. It's just that the distances at Portland can wear me down by the time
I get to where I want to start looking.
Actually I'm pretty hopeful that getting about will not be a challenge by
that time but I want to be prepared in case.
