BOATS, BOATS, BOATS
Since we are in the Pacific Northwest why not build and race hydroplanes?
Together we will be building the boats and you will install the simple circuit with motors, batteries, and wire. We can’t wait to see your fantastic decorating and styling so we can race them on Lake EMC at the show. Look for Captain "Gayla Burns" to lead you on. Ahoy maties.
ON-YOUR-OWN
In addition to the pre- and post-conference tours (http://www.emc2006.org/pages/tours.htm), the Portland area offers many options for self-guided tours and recreational activities for your companion and/or family during and after the conference. See the Family Activities list (http://www.emc2006.org/pages/familyfun.htm) for some of the things you can do.
