A memorial service for Sheryl and Darrel McDaniel is set for today at Sunset Presbyterian Church on NW Cornell Road. The couple were struck by a car while riding together in Forest Grove last Monday. Here’s the story from the Hillsboro Argus and a good discussion and blog post from the BTA.
Over the weekend, the girls and I started to build a chicken coop in the backyard. This gave us reason to finally visit the North Portland Tool Library which we’ve heard so much about.
This community service works just like a regular library except they check out power tools instead of books. It’s a great idea and a huge asset to North Portland residents.

Today we headed out for a berry picking ride to Sauvie Island. While some folks would take heed of the 80% chance of rain and decline a trip on Hwy 30, we didn’t let a few dark clouds spoil our mission for fruit. We headed out of North Portland and made our way to the bridge with nary a drop in sight. As we massed across the St John’s bridge (sorry, we weren’t naked this time) we got a slight sprinkle, but not enough to deter serious berryers.
Hwy 30 was the usual mass of cars and trucks and the mild sprinkle continued during a short stop on the way. With our mission bidding us on, we persisted in our quest for berries.
Last Thursday the Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) Department held a public meeting to present their “twenty-year vision for developing Portland’s regional recreational trail system.”
In attendance was a small but influential group of representatives from many trail user and advocacy groups including; the BTA, Friends of Forest Park, Portland United Mountain Pedalers (PUMP), the 40-mile Loop, the Columbia Slough Watershed Council and others.
