We were up in Portland for a long weekend, and decided to do some SOTA wile exploring the area. We had a bit of time before lunch, so decided to grab an easy summit. This peak is in a residential neighborhood, with a small park around the high point. We drove up, and parked on the side of the road to the south of the summit. From there it was a quick walk up the path to the park on the summit.

We assumed that it would be an easy activation, and we were right. We only brought up the HT, and quickly got four contacts each on 2m, in less than 5 minutes. With the activation complete, we unscrewed the antenna, walked back to the car, and drove down to the city for a tasty lunch.
