Drunken Photos

by Tryan Hartill

I’m not into writing much today after drinking a bit too much last night. But I did take a few minutes to go on a foot-looper in between beers and take some photos….

2 more photos from last night on the otherside….

The "Calm-a" After the Storm

by Tryan Hartill

Some fishermen refer to storms as “Commas”. Most storms that come ashore in the PNW are shaped like a comma. After they move through, there is a few hours of generally unsettled weather that features clouds, showers, sun breaks and possible thunderstorms.

Today one of those storms rolled through and dumped quite a bit of rain on the North Oregon Coast. But, we are getting into the time of year where a half day of rain is not a bad thing and I even enjoy it. It clears the air a bit and washes away some of the dirt and debris that gathers on the ground.

Valley Pics: Silver Falls

by Tryan Hartill

As most of you know, I went on a weekend trip to the Valley to meet up with Jaggy.

One of the places she took me on my weekend adventure was Silver Falls. It is located East of Silverton and about 30 minutes from Salem. This is a monstrous Park. There could be thousands of people out there and you would barely see any. I would also highly recommend checking it out if you are in the area. The park consists of at least 10 miles of trails the meander along 2 rivers. The elevation changes are huge. Probably close to 1500 ft from the highest point to the lowest and this creates 14 waterfalls from anywhere to 30 to 170 feet high. This is the first one at the far north end of the park.

We only had a few hours to wonder around, so we only explored about 20% of the trails, but out of the ones we saw, this one had to be the most impressive. And the pictures don’t really do it justice, it is much more spectacular in person. The first photo is directly behind it.

Working River: Sunny Monday Edition

by Tryan Hartill

Tourism

A Cruise Boat docks next to the Cannery Pier Hotel at the Port of Astoria. Thousands of people from the Boat made their way around Astoria. Most boats stay for about 8 hours and each person that arrives dumps an average of 110 dollars into businesses on the North Oregon Coast. The Cruise boats also pay the Port $18,000 for the use of the dock.

Entertainment and Meeting

Shawn Helligso is putting the final touches on the Red Building. When finished this will be the largest meeting place in Astoria. Helligso also owns the strip on land to the East. Bergeson Inc. is shown moving the last piece of equipment from the site, an old water train car from the 1920’s. The site is currently being inspected for erosion and may house a small Amphitheater where bands can perform over the water to an audience sitting in a Coliseum-type structure.

Shipping

2 tugs pulling barges cross paths off of 6th Street.

Fishing

Gillnet boats wait for the fish to find their nets near old Youngs Bay Bridge.

Sundown on the River

by Tryan Hartill

Anyone have any idea who owns the old building out over the water and what they are planning to do with it? And what would you do with it if you owned it?
