I vote for Badger Creek or White River, depending on the weather. It's hard to tell at that time of year...sometimes it's warmer closer to Portland, down in the riparian valleys, and other times it's cold and rainy down there and dry on the Eastside. I usually have a few options lined up, and when the date comes close I'll check the weather report for the best option.
But at the very least, let's make this a wilderness type excursion, the hell with developed campgrounds!

PS on my last camptrip, I took some redhot rocks from the fire into the bus, in a saucepan. I set it in the sink, and it radiated quite a bit of heat for some time. Whodathunkit?

Ooooooooooo I'd wait til' the last minute to decide for sure, there are drastic differences in climate between there and further west. Especially at that time of the year. Not to mention possibly avioding snow filled mountain passes by staying relatively low.
I know all 3 areas relatively well, and I'm sure Jasan does too. Planning shouldn't be a big deal, but makin sure we get the troops fired up to go MIGHT be!
There's a really cool unofficial wilderness roadless area right on the east end of Badger Creek wilderness I checked out this spring. There's also a bunch of places in the Clackamas, and the entire White River is a Wild and Scenic River, going from the glacier to high desert. Win/win.
I've fixed the bumper since then...drove me crazy just lookin at it..

Yep, I vote for White River or Badger Creek Wilderness too. It'll have to be a game time decision since that is around 4000ft and if the weather's crappy we'll have to go lower. There is a great little campground right along a creek somewhere off the White River Rd that would be perfect for us but damned if I can remember exactly where it is. It's been about ten years since I was there last. I'll do some research and see if I can find it on a map. If I can't find it there are several other primitive CG's on one of the FS roads that goes into Badger Lk. I do know about though.
Chorizo, it's what's for breakfast.

OK, looking on a Mt Hood National Forest map I think the spot I was thinking of is called Forest Creek campground. It's right off of forest route 48 which is the road that you take from hwy35 into Tygh Valley. Follow that down to FS road 4885 and the campground sits right on that road.

That is pure Maynard brilliance. I love the phone message at the very end of that track. Freakin creepy.

Especially when you are 14, on acid and didn't expect it....
