Apple Tour to Ing's with a Twist

It’s time again to go visit the Ings and pick some fruit. As always, we will try to vary the mechanics of the trip to make it more interesting. By vote, it was decided to take the long way around Mt Hood and approach from the South.

We will meet at the Troutdale Outlet Mall at 9:30, on Saturday the 6th of October. You may depart at any time after 9:30 on your own. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY SPECIFIC written ROUTE INSTRUCTIONS. Basically you will drive south to HWY 26, Turn left, (east), and follows 26 to 35, turn north and follow 35 to Hood River and gather at the County Museum, located just west of the entrance to the Hood River Bridge. We will travel as a group to the Packing Plant at Bingen where Ed will give us a tour and tell about the recent fire. After the tour you will be led up the steep hill to Ed and Melissa’s house for lunch (probably pulled pork fixed by Melissa) followed by fruit picking and fellowship. Be sure you bring your 2 cubic ft box to carry away the loot. A chair would be a nice item to bring also. This will conclude the Apple Core Tour 2018.
