We just got back from spending a couple nights in Portland during spring break. On our way there we went to Silver Falls State Park. The forecast was for rain so the place was empty. The bit of rain that was falling when we arrived stopped so we decided to do part of the Trail of Ten Falls. We did the 6-mile loop section that includes seven of the falls. Two miles into our hike the rain started again, became really heavy, turned to hail, and we proceeded to become drenched. The last few miles weren’t so much fun at the time, but looking back it was a really good time.

Lucy Walker discussing “Crash Reel” @ AIFF 2013

There will be no Lucy Walker (@lucywalkerfilm) at this year’s Ashland Independent Film Festival, but we will have Ty Burrell and some fantastic films come to town in a couple weeks. I’m looking forward to seeing Lucy Walker’s short “The Lion’s Mouth Opens” at the 2014 AIFF.

Ryan Riga throws complete-game shutout

@Ryan_Riga44 Perhaps this wouldn’t be that big of a deal if Oregon couldn’t hit, but they can. They scored 20 runs on the next night.

Oregon Ducks Baseball
Matt Krook

@OregonBaseball @krook_daddy This past Saturday evening I watched this freshman pitcher strike out 10 in just 5.1 innings. He only gave up one hit too. However, the Ducks couldn’t score. The next night they scored 20 runs. Go figure.

Andrew Moore
Oregon State University baseball

After being chosen as one of only three Freshman All Americans last season, Moore has actually pitched even better in the early part of his Sophomore year. 7 2/3 shutout innings last night lowered his ERA to just 0.79 for 2014.
