As you probably know, I've been running a no-budget, no-organization campaign to restore Warren Falls (in the Starvation Creek area) as part of the ambitious effort to restore the old Columbia River Highway as a bike/hike trail. Despite the millions going into the highway restoration, it's still an uphill battle to add this project to the scope -- despite the fact that it was ODOT (then known as the Oregon Highway Department) that diverted the falls way back in 1939.
There's a very good chance of making this happen, especially since the push is on to complete the larger highway restoration in the next four years. The window for including Warren Creek Falls in this restoration is NOW. Here's how you can help: I've created a Facebook fan page, and if you're a Facebook user, consider stopping by and hitting "like". No worries about me hounding you for contributions, etc., this is strictly a social media petition of sorts -- a way for me to show the folks that matter that there's broad support for the idea.
Here's the Facebook page:

Feel free to forward this to others in your Facebook circles, too! Thanks go to Zach (Chameleon) here on PH.org for the use of his photos of Warren Falls in various articles -- thanks Zach!
I'm also working with Oregon Field Guide on a segment for the program devoted to Warren Falls. Not sure where they're going with it, but we've made one trip up there already, and will be making another this spring. Hopefully, that will help tilt the balance toward including restoration of the falls in the ODOT trail project.
Thanks in advance!
