    In the home stretch now.  I had a great walk on Saturday exploring more of the Westside Trail that runs along the high tension lines in Beaverton.  It has multiple nature trails that connect to it and I highly recommend it as a great jumping off point for side explorations around the Murray Hill/Cooper Mountain area.  

    On an unrelated note, I noticed that in regards to our challenge to Multnomah County, we are 20 members smaller, but only a bit over 100 points away from their score.  Nice job Team!

      I agree that's a cool trail. It's pretty close to our house and it's great to see so many people using it.  And yes, that is very cool news about our team in comparison to Multnomah Co!

    Here we go again.  Last year was conserving water, this year I'm going to focus on food.
