We had a day of chillin’ at the mountain not long ago in which EP had his first tubing experience. As the picture reveals he was enjoying the snow quite a bit!

Over the holidays I had a chance to connect with an old friend and we hit up the Circuit in Portland for some bouldering. I had never been to this gym before, and was blown away by the sheer volume of wall! There was even a hanging wall (literally hanging from the ceiling!) that you...

That’s right, we were in the middle of an incident here in Newberg! It began with a phone call…pipes leaking…roof flooding into storefronts.
