PDX meet? I'm in for that! I'd like to meet a few of the other owners out here. As far as our mass transit going to downtown, it does ~45 min I'm told. You can cover quite a bit of town on MAX (light rail) and the bus coverage is not bad, but what you'd really want to see is the Mt. Hood loop (up the gorge to the waterfalls) through Hood River and over the pass back to town. You'd really need a car for (or guide) for that. The coast is always a good place to visit from sand to cliffs, it is out there. So there's gotta be a meet FAQ somewhere....
