It looks like I'm going to be heading out to the Hood River area the morning of the 31st, and back out the evening of the 3rd, to pick up and drop off my older brother, and while it's not absolutely set in stone yet, If there is someone along the way, I'll be able to fit maybe one person in with myself, him, and my other two riders.
Lemmie know, and when things get closer, I'll know for sure.
