A group usually flies up from SF together. If you arrive at Redmond/Bend (RDM) around the same time, you may be able to catch a ride. Check with the driver. There are also numerous car rental agencies at the airport. I think we have rented from Alamo, National, and Budget in the past.

If anyone from SF is coming on Friday, please email your flight info so I can post it. Also, people coming from the east coast, if you send your info as well, I can post that too. It will make it much easier to coordinate rides.

There is a group DRIVING from San Francisco (the Friedbergs). If you want to be a part of that (and especially if you have your own car), let Rich or Dave know.
