Mark, Sylvia, Lori and I did a leisurely walk in Washington Park before going to lunch at the Stepping Stone Café.
White River Snow
Scappoose Dike Walk
Cooper Mt. and Jenkins Estate Scouting
I had a section of Portland Metro area I had not explored before. This South West area contains two public area I needed to check out. With dry weather returning I went to explore Cooper Mt. Nature Park and Jenkins Estate. Now the unexpected was the forecast called for clouds and some sun but what I got was heavy fog. So no scenic views today. I did a three mile loop at Cooper Mt. and two plus mile loop at Jenkins Estate.

Jenkins Estate Walk
Firelane 1 Forest Park
Forecast had for one more day of nice weather before the rain returned so I wanted to get in one more hike. I tried doing Firelane One in Forest Park but the gate was close so I thought I would try it again. The parking lot and new start of the trail was put in a few years ago so it was nice to see what was done. The trail starts out steep but quickly changes into the service road for the power line. I added on some other trails to make a lollipop loop out of it. The first mile of the firelane has some great views and some great mud.
