Tracing my Steps

To avoid losing my mind among work, midterms, finals, labs, and term papers, I have embarked on a self-indulgent project to combine topo maps, images, and whatever additional relics I have collected along the way to “map” some of my favorite places. Below is an initial (and draft) entry for Fish Creek, one of my favorite places on the Clackamas River, and a venue for some of my favorite hiking, rafting, and cycling trips. I captured a rafting (and, as it turned out, swimming) trip on this trib of the Clackamas in April last year with my friend Randy, included below.

Oh, and no PBRs were harmed in the filming on the video. They all happened to make it through “Toilet Bowl”. My sunglasses, however, are presumably polluting the Pacific Ocean somewhere.
