2010 Pickathon Staff

Pickathon has always been run with thoughtful attention to energy generation and consumption, minimizing waste, and a leave-no-trace mentality. This year, festival organizers have taken a huge step and committed to eliminating all plastic beverage containers, making Pickathon the first music festival in the country to go plastic (bottle and cup) free.

Pickathon has partnered with Klean Kanteen, makers of the first BPA-free metal designed for personal hydration, to facilitate the massive infrastructure changes required.

Bottled water in single-use plastic containers will not be sold, or available at the event. In addition, the compostable corn-based cups that were used in the beers gardens in the past will be replaced with reusable stainless steel cups designed and manufactured by Klean Kanteen.

"When we started talking to Klean Kanteen and it became clear that the company was willing to give us a lot of support to enable this shift away from plastic, our biggest concern was how to ensure that festival participants, the audience members and the musicians, still have access to affordable containers they can use for water," says Schoenborn.

That's where Klean Kanteen, which is a family-owned company based in Chico, CA, comes in. Through their sponsorship, the company is providing the stainless steel cups and offering their famous Kanteen's at affordable prices. "We recognize that a shift of this magnitude requires major changes in how Pickathon operates," says Jeff Cresswell, one of Klean Kanteen's co-owners. "We have been extremely impressed with the high level of organization and commitment we've seen from Zale and the entire Pickathon team. By switching to reusable containers, Pickathon is setting the standard for what it means to run a music festival sustainably, and hopefully we'll eventually see much larger festivals follow suit."

In addition to going plastic bottle free this year, the owners of Pendarvis Farm have helped Pickathon expand the solar power generating capacity even further. This spring, Pendarvis Farm funded the installation of a permanent solar array on the roof of the Galaxy Barn with help from Pickathon's energy partner, REC Solar. The energy from the new array will offset 100% of the energy used in the Galaxy Barn plus 100% of the electricity used by the food and craft vendors. The Woods Stage has been fully powered by solar energy since 2008 and will continue to use energy from the solar array set up in the camping parking lot to meet the electrical needs of the stage.

The medical tent, front gate check-in and ticketing areas have been solar-powered in the past and will be again this year. Renewable energy designer/engineer Tom Ullmann will also utilize his latest Hybrid Renewable Energy Trailer design which, will incorporate hybrid wind and solar power generation in helping to continue the increase of different types of renewable energies as Pickathon continues to expand.

More than 2 miles of trails meander through the woods, leading to various camping areas. At night, these trails are lit with LED lights that are also solar powered. Where solar power is unavailable, Pickathon uses generators powered by bio-diesel whenever possible.

Pickathon's recycling team is made up of about 45 volunteers who spend most of the festival rounding up everything that can be either recycled or composted. With the help of New Seasons Market, Pickathon will be the first large- scale event in Clackamas County to compost all waste produced by the food vendors at this year's event.

This year the recycling team will also collect the gray water from all the wash stations, sinks and showers, running it through a filtration system then using it around the venue for dust control.

When it comes to transportation and getting to Pendarvis Farm, Pickathon organizers have put a lot of thought into ways to make it easy for people to get there using alternative transportation. A local transportation company, named EcoShuttle, runs all day and far into the night from the Clackamas Transit Center MAX light rail station (the nearest public transportation hub) out to Pendarvis Farm.

The Pickathon also strongly encourages cycling to the event and provides detailed route descriptions, links to Google Earth and Metro's "Bike There!" trip planners. For people who prefer to carpool, Pickathon even provides instructions on how to register for the local carpool matching site, CarpoolMatchNW.

People traveling from out of town can book a room at any of the partner hotels, which will shuttle guests from the airport to the hotel, then from the hotel to Pendarvis Farm, free of charge. Or hop on the MAX at the airport and then take the EcoShuttle from the Clackamas Transit Center to the farm. Here's a link to the schedule: http://www.pickathon.com/info.php#transportation

In 2009, Pickathon estimates that 400, people, or about 15% of festival goers, opted for alternative transportation to and from the festival. He says the goal is to increase that number to about 50% within the next five years.

PDX International Airport
Amtrak Railway
Greyhound Bus

All of these options are conveniently located close to our partner Hotels.

No matter where you stay you can easily get to Pendarvis Farm by referencing the transportation section.

Pendarvis Farm is a great mix of Doug Fir forests and meadows that we are excited for folks to experience firsthand.

Here's a summary of what one can expect.

We have greatly expanded the available Old and second growth forested camping within 150 to 3000 feet of the parking lot. We will be offering a gear shuttle service (marked on the map above) to take gear into and out of the woods. The gear shuttle will consist of slow moving golf cart type vehicles with a trunk like bed where campers can load in gear as it passes, walk beside the shuttle, and remove the gear when it is close to the desired campsite. We will also have some wheelbarrows and carts available for hauling, but we recommend you come prepared to carry all of your own gear from the parking lot to the woods.

Bring shoes in addition to flip flops as you will be some of the first campers every staying at Pendarvis and some brush and blackberries remain scattered throughout the farm.

Car camping is very limited and we recommend you buy your pass immediately if this is of interest for you.
Note: Car camping includes vehicles as large as VW vans but does not include trailers of any sort.
Note: Much of the car camping options are not on level ground and there is very little shade so be prepared.

RV Parking is located along the wooded edge (North side) of the camping parking lot (very limited).
Note: There are no water, sanitary, or electric hookups available on site.

Family Camping will be designated in both the car camping and the woods this year. In general any spot should be suitable for families. However, there are several large groups that attend Pickathon each year, several of which are known for being fairly lively until the early hours. All great folks, but just not the types that you would want to camp next to with the kiddos ...

Car camping for any special needs is available (must be approved when buying a car pass).

To keep from overcrowding the venue we are requiring:

Every person bringing a car to purchase the appropriate car pass [click here]..

We are happy to report that there will be plenty of shady spots for camping and relaxing but remember to bring anything to limit sun exposure as it will likely be hot, and most of the actual music venue will have some daytime exposure.

We also ask everyone to come prepared so as to minimize the number of entries and exits made by all the cars since we want to be respectful to the locals from a traffic perspective.

OTHER CAMPING INFO
A variety of independent hand picked vendors will be selling a wholesome variety of food, drinks, beer and wine, and crafts for the duration of the event. Ice and bottled water will also be available for purchase.

Drinking water will be provided free of charge from on-site water trucks.

There will be ATM's on-site, located adjacent to the Galaxy Barn.

Portable toilets, Recycling, Composting, and Hand Washing stations are located throughout the venue and campground.

There will be both a new lovely Shower and Sauna facility onsite provided by Oasis Express. A Shower or Sauna will cost $5 individually or $8 dollars for both. A comfortable waiting area will be located close to the Oasis showers.

No telephones are available to the public for local calls but cell phones should work fine.

Please be mindful of your impact on the land and keep up diligently with your trash. Deposit all trash in the main waste dumpster by the camping parking lot when possible.

CARPOOL TO PICKATHON

One of the simplest ways to make a difference is to carpool with friends.

If you don't know someone carpooling and you live in Oregon or Southwest Washington we encourage you to go to the website CarpoolMatchNW and follow the instructions below.

If you are already registered with CarpoolMatchNW, log in as a returning user. When you get to Going To (Destination) click the drop down arrow and select Pickathon, Pendarvis Farm and enter you preferred traveling times.

If you are not already registered on CarpoolMatchNW, then go ahead and register. When you get to Going To (Destination) click the drop down arrow and select Pickathon, Pendarvis Farm, and enter you preferred traveling times.

Note: Remember that being more flexible about your departure and return times and the distance you will travel to meet your carpool will increase the chances of finding a match.

Once your carpool match is created you should automatically get updates when a possible match is found.

TRAVEL BY BICYCLE

We suggest 3 possible bike routes below. We also encourage folks to research their own bike routes because there are tradeoffs (less traffic, less hills, best lighted, etc...) in picking which bike route is best.

Bike Route 1 (Easiest) - From I-205 Bikepath -- Easy riding on good bike lanes, well lit, and mostly flat.

From the I-205 Bikepath, take Sunnyside Rd all the way to 162nd. Bike lanes and good lighting exist the entire way up Sunnyside until you reach 162nd, but consider yourself warned that the intense suburban scenery is less than stunning.

Take a left onto 162nd and continue (.8 miles) until it bends right into Hagen Road. You will see Pendarvis Farm within 300 feet. 162nd and Hagen is the only portion of this journey without designated bike lanes.

Bike Route 2 - Springwater Corridor (Medium because of traffic on 172nd and Foster) - Mostly flat with road traffic and small road shoulders on both Foster (300 feet) and 172nd (~1.5miles)

Take 158th off of the Springwater Corridor trail and take a left on Foster.

Go 300 feet and take right onto 162nd.

Continue down 162nd until you come to the tee of SE Sager and SE Vrandenburg Rd. (Take a left onto Sager)

Sager Intersects 172 where you take a right and continue down 172nd until Hagen Rd.

Take a right down Hagen Rd and you will see Pendarvis Farm within .3 miles

Bike Route 3 - Springwater Corridor (Hard because of the big hills) - The most scenic route through Happy Valley with the least amount of traffic and a lot of big hill climbing.

Take 158th off of the Springwater Corridor trail and take a left on Foster.

Go 300 feet and take right onto 162nd.

Continue down 162nd until you come to the SE Clatsop Rd where you will take a right.

Continue ~4000ft uphill and take a right on 145th.

Continue straight on 145th about 1.5 miles (past King Street) until it merges with 147th and continue straight again for ~.2 miles until you see Monner Rd.

Take a left on Monner Rd. and be careful as this is a steep decent down to 162nd Ave.

Take a left on 162nd and follow it as it bends and turns into Hagen Rd (~.2 miles) and you will see Pendarvis Farm within 300 feet.

Here are two resources for finding your own bike route

Option 1 - Use the Bicycle Trip Planner at to look at routes from any starting address.

Option 2 - Follow the four easy steps to use Google Earth with Metro's Bike There! plug in to show recommended bike routes over a 3D topology.

Step 1 - Download the free Google Earth beta application and install the application on your PC or Mac by clicking here.

Step 2 - Then download Metro's bike routes file "bike_there.kmz" by clicking here.

Step 3 -- Open Google Earth on your computer, and then from within Google Earth, go to file > open and open the Metro "Bike There" file.

Step 4 -- Use the dashboard in Google Earth to fly over the region and have a bird's eye view of the bike routes.

Here are three suggested bike routes you should consider.

You must follow some basic neighborly rules otherwise you could be turned away or be asked to leave at anytime.

Absolutely no pets are allowed. (Sorry!...We really do love dogs...Farm Rules!)

No fires of any sorts (including candles), fireworks, or firearms allowed. You can use campstoves under controlled supervised circumstances.

Respect your fellow festival goers, campers, and Pendarvis Farm neighbors.

No glass our outside alchohol will be allowed in the venue.

Parking Lot Picking is heavily encouraged, but be mindful of places you choose to pick.

Download the Full 2010 Pickathon Vendor Menu Here.

The Pickathon strongly encourages families to attend, and a specific portion of the campground will be set aside for those that choose to use it.

All kids under 12 get in for free when coming to Pickathon with the family.

One of the coolest things for parents is that Pickathon will have Pickathon Radio broadcasting the Mountain View and Fir Meadows stages on 90.1 FM so you can listen in from anywhere in the campground. So when you're putting the kids to bed or just hanging out back at the campsite you can stay connected the whole time.

Tracking deer and other animals we cover more then clear prints in the sand or mud, we teach easy ways to train to see tracks and sign over leaf litter, moss or grass.

Our onsite radio team (Peacock Radio !!) allows you to relax at camp (day or night) as we broadcast live performances right to your radio at 90.1 FM.

Tuning to Pickathon Radio is a great way to keep up to the minute with all festival happenings as well as a place to hear some fine archival performances from festivals past.

Don't forget those portable radios!

Do you still have a question for us that we didn't answer above?
