Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Mark, Bodhi and I hiked up Hardy Ridge in the Columbia Gorge yesterday. It threatened to rain, but never did. The temps were cool and there was no wind. Perfect hiking conditions. We covered eight miles and climbed 2200 ft. The trail starts on an old logging road and is pretty wet. Then it switchbacks up a ridge where the soil is dry and lots of wildflowers are out. Bodhi was happy to lead the way. The only times he gave me pause was when he pulled going downhill on steep sections with loose rocks. Bodhi checking out a big cairn. Cresting the ridge. Checking out Table Mt. and the the Columbia River. Hamilton Mt. and Bonneville Dam below. Desert Parsley and Harebells Atop Flox Point, Bodhi on a tight leash with a 600 ft. drop behind him. Thirsty dog. "Let's get going, Dad." |

| Sweet pics! We planned to go on a hike, and I for once on a weekend, I wanted to sleep in (sleeping in for me was until 7:15am!). Since it was going to a high of 91 degrees, I just planned a dog park day later in the afternoon. It'll be hot tomorrow too I like Bodhi's harness - kind of like an X-back harness, minus the x's.....where did you get it? I'm thinking I want to get one for Storm. _________________ |

| Those trees and that river (is that an artsy cairn on that stump?)!! I really want to get out there and see the things I saw when I was stupid and little. Nice shots.
Is the weather kind of predictable on a daily basis? I always figured the ocean might mess with the stability. Here you can almost set a watch to the daily PM thunderstorms in the summer. |

| Yeah, it was a kind of ridiculous looking artsy cairn. Laughable actually because we didn't see anybody else on the hike.
Usually in summer, the weather is pretty predictable. We just haven't had summer yet. We are still under the influence of La Nina, which means cooler than normal. It hasn't been 90 yet, and we've only had a couple of 80 degree days. A recent snow report said that snow on Mt. Hood was 500% of normal for this time of year. The snow starts at about 5000 ft. All this means it's better for hiking with dogs! I'm hoping to get out Sunday. |
