Treks and Adventures
Lori, Jeanette, Sylvia and I did a hike at Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge. We followed the same route as I had scouted a few months ago but shortened it some. Highlights were seeing a deer swim across the Willamette River and a playful Otter cleaning its self. Both happened to far away to get a photo of. After the walk we went to Muddy Rudder Public House. I had Stromboli, something I had never had before.
An urban hike of the Jackson Bottom Wetland Preserve with Lori, Jennette and Sylvia. We did about 4 miles. This time the Nature Center was open so we had a chance to visit it. Afterwards we went to the Murryhill Taproom for lunch.
An Exploratory walk of Cook’s Butte in Lake Oswego. About four mile 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.
I got out to explore the trails and attractions around Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge. By the numbers: about 8 miles and 300 ft. elevation gain.
