Sunday, September 1, 2013, Cathedral Park in Portland, OR


We visited Cathedral Park in Portland, OR, where we could let Sam off-leash. There were so many squirrels that Joani couldn't let him run. There's no telling how far Sam might chase a squirrel. He got plenty of walking anyway. The park was under the St. Johns Bridge. It was built when bridges were art. Every detail of the bridge seemed to include elements that were only there for their aesthetic value. It was a beautiful day with temperatures in the 70's and sunshine, so we took our time in the park.




Joani caught this ship easing down the Willamette River. I guessed it was full of logs that it had just off-loaded somewhere upstream. I'm sure it was on its way north for another load.




We tried to find Forest Park on the other side of the river, but it was hidden too well. We followed Google maps up some pretty narrow roads that led to gravel roads that finally had signs that said "No Parking." We gave up when the low fuel light came on - we will have to find the real park entrance later.
