Hole in the Park hike

I went for a conditioning hike in Forest Park and started out just a little before day break. I was going to do a longer hike but I am still not getting my boots and socks matched up right so I cut it short before getting blisters. I did about 9 miles, 1700 ft. gain in a little under 4 hrs. On the BPA road section of the hike I had many flowers blooming.

Silver Falls State Park hike

A new entry point, the North Canyon Day Use Area, had been added to the park and Lori, Sylvia, Jeanette and I used to hike from. We did an out and back that would take us pass six water fall starting with North Falls. We hiked a little over six miles and then headed for lunch at our favorite garden eatery the Milltown Pub. It looks like a dive bar up front but in the back it a lovely garden to have lunch in on a warm, sunny day.
