The Columbia Bar area alone--with its violent outflow and no mitigating delta--has claimed over 700 lives and 2,000 vessels. The Peter Iredale is one of these victims, running ashore on October 25, 1906. There were reportedly no casualties and little actual damage to the ship. However, while the crew waited for weather to improve, thevessel
SUMMER LAKE HOT SPRINGS The woman on the phone said, “You’re in for a treat.” Seriously, when was the last time you heard that expression? I felt kind of skeptical, but her voice was full of such sincere enthusiasm. I thought of cake, magic shows, pure childhood pleasures, and oohed appreciatively. I said we’d be there in TILLAMOOK AIR MUSEUM All of this exists inside a structure called Hangar B. Its twin, Hanger A, once existed but was destroyed by a fire in 1992. The remaining building—constructed by the US Navy in 1942 for storing blimps—is the largest clear-span wooden structure in the world; and, seriously, its proportions are jaw dropping: 1,072 feet long, 296 feet wide, 192 feet tall.THE CHAPMAN SWIFTS
They’re described as cigars with wings, but clustered in the thousands at a great height, they resemble something else entirely, a cloud of mosquitos or debris from a churning tornado. Every year Vaux’s Swifts pass through Portland on their southern migration route, and their chosen evening roost is100places

JUN 30 OTIS CAFE
jered bogli
Memory can be tricky, especially when it comes to a sense of place. There are places that can be so built up in your memory that you’re unaware of where the truth lies. For me, the Otis Café is one of those places. In college I worked at a summer camp that was close by. After a weeklong camp session, we counselors would put the kids back on buses, wave goodbye, and as soon as the busses were out of sight we’d rush to the Otis Café for breakfast.Jun 11

Erica Korer
...If you go to the Astoria Column, which is a great place to get oriented after arriving, you’ll see the city’s history illustrated on it, spiraling up the structure in sepia tones. There’s a winding staircase inside if you’d like to climb to the top, but from the ground, atop the hill, there’s already a very good panoramic view. To the South, you’ll see the Coastal Range, including the distinctive Saddle Mountain. To the North, you’ll see the mighty Columbia River. And, of course, the Pacific Ocean is West.Jan 16
JAN 16 SHANIKO
jered bogli
Set high on the Columbia Plateau, Shaniko appears like a mirage. As it emerges out of the wheat fields and shimmering heat, it’s hard to believe your eyes. Out here? Why? So you pull over to stretch yourlegs and explore.
Shaniko inhabits the liminal space between reality and fantasy, town and ghost town. It is technically a “living ghost town,” as it has a population of about 30 people. The town is about six gridded blocks, defined by highway 97 on the western edge. Truck traffic running down this highway to Bend, Madras, and points south provides the only sound. Shaniko itself is silent. It’s a mysterious place with a ton of history, both old and recent. As you wander the town clicking photos and poking your head into the jail, museum, and auto barn, you wonder if it’s all real or part of a movie set. Shaniko is simultaneously charming and disconcerting. The emptiness feels both liberating and constricting. There are a few businesses: an ice cream shop, a jewelry store, some antiques, a penny candy shop, and a post office in case you need to mail anything. The historic Shaniko hotel has been closed for a few years but is still cuts an imposing figure in the center of town, which adds to the air of emptiness. The atmosphere is difficult to describe; you have to experience it for yourself. Shaniko is well worth a stop, and if you spend any time in Eastern Oregon you will inevitably stumble upon it. Spend a bit of time wandering and taking in the sights. Let Shaniko reveal itself to you and fill in the rest of this narrative.Dec 14

NOV 13 WALLOWA VALLEYjered bogli
Coming from the west you climb slowly along the banks of the Wallowa River. The grade is gentle, and the walls of the canyon are steep. As you reach the valley the walls of the canyon get lower and lower, and suddenly there are plains of grass blowing in the wind. You emerge out of a canyon into a lush green valley, which opens up as you pass through the towns of Wallowa and Lostine, eventually reaching the county seat of Enterprise and then Joseph. The Wallowa river is your companion, flowing next to you for most of this journey--granted, in the opposite direction. The Wallowa mountains frame the view to the south, their scale and grandeur making it near impossible to take youreyes off them.

There’s a lovely place called Six Mile Meadow, named for being six miles up the West Fork Trail in the Eagle Cap Wilderness, where sparse dirt paths crisscross a broad carpet of green grass and wildflowers. On the margins, pine trees spring up, accenting the granite peaks behind them. It’s like being in the middle of a Bob Ross painting, and it’s a great place to eat a sandwich. For some, this is the zenith of their day hike, a rest stop before heading back down to Joseph on foot or on horseback. Others carry on with camping gear intothe mountains.

SEP 13 ST. JOHNS BRIDGEErica Korer
From the right vantage point, the arches all line up and produce a telescoping effect, appearing small at the east end high on the hillside and growing taller and taller as the land slopes toward the river. The height of the bridge and depth of the space beneath are both exaggerated, and the resulting sense of volume is truly spectacular. The space between and outside of the arches is the real focal point. There’s an elemental feeling about the space. Land and water partner with the bridge’s architecture to suggest you’re inside a structure. It’s a magical feeling under the bridge.Dec 16
