A Walk in the Woods



We had a glorious winter here in the Pacific NW, and I was beginning to think that the whole rain thing is just a big scam to keep people from moving here.  And then May arrived.  And June.  Rain, rain, and more rain.  We decided to make the best of it over Memorial Day weekend and enjoy one of my favorite spots in Portland which is Forest Park.  With over seventy miles of trails through an Oregon temperate rainforest, Forest Park is one of the largest urban parks in the country.  We had a wonderful hike, saw slugs as long as my hand (banana slugs, I think?), got really nice and muddy, touched ferns, waded in creeks, and watched Roscoe lead us through the woods with his cheerful horselike gait.
