Keeping Social Distance by finding Secret Places: My Thursday Ramble, 9 April 2020

It’s somewhere near a month of Stay-at-Home here in Portland. The quarantine is now just a fact of life. Yes, it’ll end at some point, but now life before it seems so distant. Hang out with people? Go to a cafe? I know we’ll have that again, right now we make do.

I try to have at least a half-hour of outdoor exercise a day, as recommended. Much of it is walks, since it’s nice and easy, but…

A ramble to Knapp Falls and Johnson Creek, 11 December 2025

Foster Floodplain, 11 Dec 2025. Pentax IQZoom/Espio 115G, Kodak Ultramax 400 It had been a while since I had taken a good ramble. Many things have conspired to prevent me from having one since the summer: work, school, travel, weather. Life’s stresses meant I desperately needed one. Thursday December 11th promised to be a good day for it: I had my Math final in the morning, then no school…

A Knapp Falls Ramble, and thoughts on creating inviting places, 23 Dec 2024

Knapp Falls, 23 Dec 2024. Olympus XA/Kodak Gold 200 As I mentioned previously, it’s “catch as catch can” when it comes to dry daylight rides in these parts. Going into the holiday week, a series of fronts or atmospheric rivers came through the Northwest. But there was a good break during the day on Monday December 23rd. With no big obligations this day, I hopped on the Brompton for a bike ride.…

Finding Kingsley D. Bundy, finally

Secret trails in Reed Canyon just west of SE Cesar Chavez Blvd, 10 Mar 2022. Minolta Freedom Zoom 160/Fuji Superia Xtra 400 One of the things I love to do is explore this place I call home. Over the past twenty-odd years I’ve spent a lot of my free time on a bike or transit, seeking out new-to-me corners of the Portland metro area. Even though sometimes I get the feeling like I’ve “seen it all”,…

Still Exploring, Still Discovering

Rose City Park, 19 August 2021. Camera: Olympus Superzoom 160. Film: Kodak Ultramax 400. What’s the ideal size of a town or city? This is a personal preference and everyone’s different. Some may not want to live in a city bigger than 10,000. Me? I grew up in a very small city of 20,000, ended up in a few more rural places (though not rural by Western standards), then moved to Big Cities In The…

Another Knapp Falls Ramble, 20 February 2021

The Robin Hood by Johnson Creek off the Springwater Corridor. 20 Feb 2021. Olympus XA2/Kodak Ultramax 400 It was a week since the Winter Storm. After a week of being cooped up and mobility-limited, I was itching to get in a decent bike ride. The question was: What kind of bike ride could I do? The snow was still lingering around the house, even though the street was clear. But what would it be…

Summer and bike touring in the time of coronavirus

NE 46th “Avenue”, The Cully. 4 May 2020. Konica C35 EF, Kodak Ultramax 400 film.

Memorial Day Weekend. For those of us in the US, this marks the “start” of summer. So what that Solstice is almost a month away? This is the time for good weather, for going on holiday. June is typically okay around these parts, with some rain to remind us High Summer (typically Independence Day to Labor Day)…
