The Mosier Plateau Trail is very popular year round, but especially during the spring when there is…read morea vast display of bright yellow, cheerful balsam root and blue lupine that line the trail and cover the hill. The trailhead starts in downtown Mosier near the Old Scenic Highway Bridge. There is sign and a bench as markers. There is a free parking lot west of the bridge on the opposite side of the road. The Mosier trail is labeled moderate due to the a series of steep switchbacks up to the plateau, which is about 700-725 feet in elevation. There isn't any shade on the switchbacks so make sure to wear a hat and sunscreen, especially in the summer when temperatures are in the 90s. Wind is also a factor most days and it can be incredibly strong, like blow you over strong! The high point, pun intended, is when you reach the plateau and continue towards the Columbia River for expansive views of this magnificent river! On the plateau, there are additional wildflowers, like vibrant red orange paintbrush, desert cactus and in early spring, lots of purple widow's grass. The 3-3.5 mile in and out hike hike takes you past the historic pioneer cemetery (Mosier was founded in 1854) and Mosier Creek falls, a beautiful 2 tiered fall that is visible about a quarter of a mile in and is a popular destination in the summer. Dogs on leash are allowed in the trail. Hikers often encounter a dog off leash - he lives in one of the nearby houses and is known for going on his daily solo hike up and down the switchbacks. In the town of Mosier, a few feet from the trailhead, there is little town park identified by the Totem Pole and there is a porta potty, picnic tables, Breana's Market for sandwiches, snacks and beverages. And until they run out of their delicious Mexican food, La Vaquita Taqueria Truck is a popular post hike lunch spot. Their tacos are fabulous. Best in the area. Be respectful: don't go off trail, don't pick the flowers, and do pick up after your dog. We want to keep our trail beautiful.

Bicycle Parts Look Lovely - Who Knew?…read more The idea for Resource Revival came to Graham Bergh in 1991 when he got a flat tire biking to his recycling job in Portland, Oregon. They create interesting and functional products from recycled bicycle parts. Every year, bike shops all over the United States send them tons of tons of greasy used bicycle parts. From there, the Rebicycling process begins. I think I first saw Resource Revival stuff in Jacksonville Oregon as part of Gayle and my annual Ashland Trip. These products don't quite fit Gayle home decorating tastes, but I've particularly enjoyed the bike-based picture frames, desk pendulum clock, bowls, and most recently a small wall mirror. They make great gifts too, especially for those whose inner Portlandia is crying to get out.

I bookmarked this when Eric reviewed it in September 2011. My Utah based brother Jim is an avid…read morebicyclist and I knew he would love something made of reused bicycle parts. For his birthday January 19th Alan and I sent him a desk pendulum clock. I asked that they not include any price related information in the packaging and they didn't. They threw in a keychain gratis. Jim waited until Saturday to open it and he was thrilled. He said he could recognize every component. They also included a couple of business cards, which he's going to take to the next big bike association gathering in Salt Lake City. He's going to show them to the powers that be and suggest they buy Resource Revival's products for awards and gifts. If you know someone who's a real bicyclist they might appreciate something from these folks. And if you're that person, you know you would!

I recently ordered a 3wt Redington CT combo with the Big Y standard reel. The combo was delivered in a couple of days. I noticed a problem with the fly line the 1st time I cast it. I emailed them and got a quick response even though it was Labor Day. They emailed me a shipping label to send the reel back. I had the reel back in my hands respooled with new line in less than a week. Great customer service! I've also got to say I'm really impressed with their Big Y Standard reel for the money. The machining is great and it's a really smooth reel that seems to shoot way above its price point.
