Yesterday's 12 mile hike included 6 miles on the shoulder of highway 101, but Strawberry Hill was on the way and was begging to be explored! I spent a good hour there watching the harbor seals and the pelicans. Here are a few of my favorite shots.

Finally, a new Oregon Coast Trail story is ready for you to read on my blog. It's about the staggering beauty of Neahkahnie mountain. It's about how the trail is always pulling your forward. It's also about a wrong turn that ended up delivering a profound lesson...

Today is the 40th anniversary of my arrival in Oregon. So I'm going to pass on the political nonsense for a day of celebration. It'll be there tomorrow, I'm sure.

Perhaps the first thing one noticed was the singing of the birds -- a happy, gentle chirping that filled the air with merriness.
Or maybe it was the scenery itself, the undulating hills filling one's sight with their strength and timelessness.
Or perhaps it was both, since one can hear and see at the same time . . .

#Oregon just became the first state to end private equity and corporate control of doctor and clinical practices.
This is huge. I do wish California and other states would follow suit, but the corporate money is so entrenched in politics here that it would take a miracle for it to happen.

It’s time to break new ground in my hiking journey, and I want to bring you along for the ride. Here’s why I’m choosing the Oregon Coast Trail as my first thru-hike, and how you can follow my journey!

What are we to believe, in a world in which we are told so many, many lies?
I start by finding some small thing that I know to be true, some element of beauty or goodness that is so right, so precious, that there is no ugliness or deceit in it.
And I build upon that.

Despite a $1.3 billion investment that Portland said would improve the safety of homeless people, deaths in Multnomah County have quadrupled — from 113 in 2019 to more than 450 in 2023.
"What a view!" I thought.
I felt as if I had purchased tickets to the balcony, where I watched the show and heard the symphony. Light touched both the surface of the cliff and the foam of the surf, a timeless pageant of majesty that intoxicated without any need for wine.

May you get out there, often, to that beautiful place where you feel inspired, relaxed, calm, creative, and free to be who and what you are.
That's how good things get done on this planet -- by individual people who express themselves through who they are, and what they love to do.

Hey #Portland there's a guy trying to shoot homeless people in your area. It's rare that a case like this gets so much media coverage, such solid pictures of the attacker AND a $2500 bounty.
Hope y'all locate him:
📍 1300 & 1600 block of Schmeer Road
📍 3500 block of North Victory Blvd.
This man is wanted for questioning after a series of unprovoked shootings targeting homeless people.

Trump Administration Abandons Deal With Northwest Tribes to Restore Salmon
—
The Trump administration canceled a deal, signed under President Joe Biden, that would have enabled the removal of four hydroelectric dams along the Columbia River that are considered harmful to salmon.

Remote, isolated, tucked in and surrounded by large, rugged rocks, the small beach is a surprise discovery.
No one else is here.
Maybe, we think, no one else has EVER been here, maybe we're the very first ones to ever, ever find it!
Well, probably not. But for right now, we are the only, only, only ones here.

You hear the water before you see it, that soft, swishing sound as it falls down the short drop to the pool below.
"What IS that?" you stop and ask yourself, then keep walking until suddenly you see it, this clean cascade of movement, surrounded by lush greenery.
There is a cool mist in the air, as well as a calmness, and you stop to fully experience both.

It wasn't going anywhere, the mountain.
No matter what you said to it, no matter what names you called it, what slurs you cast upon it, it did not bow down, droop its head, slink away, acquiesce in your opinion.
It just remained: strong, determined, immovable.

Oregon sweet cherry growers produced a beautiful crop but are calling this year a disaster.
Due to the migrant labor shortage and problems with packing plants, their cherries may not reach the market.

📖 New chapter: “The Tracks to Tillamook”
On Day 9 of my Oregon Coast Trail adventure, I ditched the guidebook and followed a path less traveled. It was another brush with serendipity, unexpected beauty, and a heart-pounding test of courage I never saw coming.
Let’s just say I REALLY I earned my ice cream!
