Embrace Life

This is a "wear your seatbelt" ad the UK is showing on TV.

It was started by some dude not hired to do it, but because the cause is important to him, he came up with this idea. And now it's being hailed across the world as a beautiful' commercial!!

The video has become so popular with the general public that people are forwarding it to friends/family on their own so quickly that it has spread all over the world in a very short time.

Saturday morning hike

Tryon Creek revisited.
This past Saturday (6/19) was a busy day for many who had Pride events and other plans. Consequently, there wasn’t much interest in the morning hike scheduled that day, so I went on my own and enjoyed a new route I hadn’t been on before. This is a 3-1/2 mile loop that combines horse and pedestrian trails, all in very good shape. There were no horses on the trails at the time, not even much trace, just a few polite joggers. I am rescheduling this hike for this coming Saturday, June 26th at 9:30 a.m. Expect this easy hike to take about 2 hours.

To get there from Portland take I-5 South to exit 297. Follow signs for Terwilliger Blvd/Lewis and Clark College. Drive south on Terwilliger through numerous twists and intersections following “Tryon Creek State Park” signs. Take 2nd exit at traffic control circle about 1.6 miles along the way to stay on Terwilliger. Follow for another 0.8 mile then turn right onto the entrance road and park in the lot near the Nature Center (or wherever you can find parking in the lot overflow areas – you might have to loop around a couple of times). Meet in the parking area at the pathway entrance to the Nature Center promptly by 9:30 a.m. Well behaved, leashed dogs are welcome.

UPCOMING HIKES SCHEDULE
July 3rd – I will not schedule a hike on that day

July 10th – This will be an out-of-town hike on the Old Salmon River Trail near Zigzag. It’s an out and back, easy hike – total lengths is about 5.2 miles. We’ll also have a bag lunch picnic at the end before heading back to the Portland area. I’ll post this hike two weeks in advance as it will involve some coordinating. Since it takes more than an hour to get there from Portland, and because there is a $5 forest pass fee per car, we’ll organize carpools.

Time:	9:30am - 11:30am
Location:	Tryon Creek State Nature Area
