[pct-l] availability of isobutane cartridge at Cascade Locks

[tom aterno]

Fireweed,
 
I believe your best solution would be to buy the canister where you live and mail it to:
 
Your Name 
c/o General Delivery 
Cascade Locks, OR 97014 

You will have to mail the canister via USPS ground, with ORM-D written on the box.  I have done this several times for Charmin this year, with no problem, except at one PO, but I was able to mail it off.  It seems some postal employees are more familiar with their rules than others.

There are two REI stores, one in downtown Portland and the other in the SW suburb of Tigard. Both a very long way from the airport and in the opposite direction from Cascade Locks.

Since it sounds like you have someone driving you to Cascade Locks, I'd suggest you ask them to pre-purchase the cylinder(s) and bring them to you at the airport.

  You are better off buying it in Portland.
  I believe you can find an REI outlet in Portland.

I will be flying up to Portland and then getting a ride to Cascade Locks and was wondering If I could buy an isobutane cartridge there because the airline won't permit me to carry it in my back pack. Does anyone know about availibility of isobutane at Cascade Locks?
