Jackson Bottom Wetland Preserve Walk
I got out for an exploratory walk of the Jackson Bottom Wetland Preserve in Hillsboro. I started out in a cool morning but by ten it was already approaching 90 degrees in the sun. This area can be flooded in the winter but opens up for walking in the summer. I cover 5.5 miles of trails.

An Exploratory hike of trail over and around Green Mt. north of Camas, WA. The trail passes through three different public properties of Camas, Clark County and Camas school Dist. I also finished up walking through new subdivisions to get back to my car. The numbers: 6.75 miles, 785 ft. elev. gain in 3 1/2 hours.
Vancouver Waterfront with Tom
Lori put together another Tom Walk, this time over in Vancouver, WA. Lori, Marilyn, Barbara, Wendy, Tom and I met at the Pearson Air Museum at Fort Vancouver. From there we preceded on our normal route of going pass Fort Vancouver, over the Confluence Bridge, under the I5 bridge to walk along the Vancouver Waterfront Trail. At the end of the is a group of picnic tables and we stopped there for a bit to eat. After our stop we headed to to Esther Short Park and over the Evergreen St. Bridge back to Fort Vancouver. Our last bit was to walk along Officers Row and back to our cars. This was about a 4.5 mile walk.
