Friday Faves: Here’s to the Explorers Out There

Right now I look out into my living room at a mass of gear being packed and re-packed. It’s the beginning of another expedition. For the last several years, we’ve been lucky enough to know and work with some of our community’s most celebrated adventurers. It’s hard not to be inspired when every day you’re talking to people who are out exploring, discovering, altering...

Friday Faves: Daydreaming Courtesy a Weekend Cabin and Murmuration

Nothing quite like a shot of Scandinavia to get the wanderlust pumping… it just took one look at the Adventure Journal’s Weekend Cabin post this week to have me dreaming of wool sweaters, a raging fire and hot Glögg nestled in my palms. Luckily, this cold, crisp Portland weather is the perfect setting to allow me to stoke my daydream along with the fire. That is until I can make...

Friday Faves Double Edition: BOOM! Giving a Dam For Salmon and Free-Flowing Rivers

I’ve never been one for blowing stuff up, but I can’t begin to describe the excited, joyful feeling I have knowing that this hunk of concrete is going to be blown to smithereens on October 26. So what is this big concrete wall? That’s Condit Dam. It’s been blocking the flow of the White Salmon River and its salmon for more than 100 years. A couple of weeks ago, I posted...

Friday Faves: October Highlight = Save the Ta-Tas!

Friday Faves: October Highlight = Save the Ta-Tas!

October has always been one of my favorite months because fall is such a dynamic season.
