Lower South Falls in Silver Falls State Park

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.

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.

Hike through Shosenkyo Gorge

Hottest day of the year, hottest part of Japan, extremely humid, and I was going to go on a long, uphill hike. The good news was the hike was mostly in the shade. Most people drive up to Shosenkyo these days via a car or bus. Don’t do it. Walk up. It’s a beautiful journey that you will mostly miss in a vehicle.
