Finding places was never the hard part. The problem is that every list online is old. A gate gets locked, the Forest Service closes a road, a spot gets loved to death and a fence goes up, and a blog post from 2019 is still the top Google result saying it's great.

So the map has one rule. If nobody has been there and said so with a date on it, it doesn't get to look confirmed. Which means a lot of it looks unconfirmed right now, because a lot of it is.

Glass Bar in Eugene is written up from actually going. Park by the shops, through the bushes, over the rail line, gap on the left, footbridge, the boulder with the graffiti on it. Rooster Rock and Collins are in the works!! The rest of the state is mostly imported public data sitting there waiting for someone to check it.

A few of these are clothing optional and that's flagged on the pin so nobody gets a surprise.

Electric bill assistance

I thought I would share this important event that is happening today!

Catholic Charities of Oregon are hosting an event today from 9am-1pm. This event is to assist individuals in the community who are curtly behind on their electricity bills.

Crisis Averted

45°37'58.5"N 122°36'12.9"W

I commute from Portland to Vancouver on my bike. While on a nature trail - one of the ones that parallels a power line/greenway/stream dealy - I came across a man starting a fire right next to the massive line of trees and bushes.

I was so flabbergasted that I didn't even react at first as he just sauntered away from this bonfire of what looked like the contents of someone's closet and/or rubbish bin. Boots, blankets, garbage, all in a big toxic fire.

I recovered in time to react and raced up and down the path in the hopes of getting water to douse it, an admittedly desperate plan.

Luckily there were a lot of wonderful people out and about that day, and within five minutes I had my handlebar basket full of a half dozen water bottles.

I got back and there were onlookers trying to put it out but not having much luck due to the size. We all took a couple bottles and coordinated to pour simultaneously and successfully put the fire out before it could spread the few feet into the brush of the greenway.

It was absolutely appalling and horrifying to come face to face with just how easily this could have turned into another massive wildfire. One inconsiderate dude not thinkig through his actions for five minutes was all it took.

But on the other hand it felt good to find that literally every person I rode to for help offered up everything they could to assist without a second thought.

Stay safe out there.

Old Portland / New Portland

Based off yesterday’s Portlandia post, what is your personal “demarcation line” between the two? Is it the closing or opening of a restaurant or bar, Providence Park/Jeld Wen Field/PGE Park/Civic Stadium, the Burnside Couch couplet, Dave England pooping at Hippo Hardware, or the Centennial Mills water tower demo? There are no right or wrong answers, just everyone’s own personal choices. Be nice!

I’ll start with an obscure one. Wimpy’s on NW 21st closing. North 45? As if
