Ripley's "Portland Hikers Museum" - Believe it or Not!

That bone tree is AMAZING! And no one would ever have seen it, if not for the windstorm.
Believe it or not, I barely ever ride a mountain bike.

Anyone recognize this and/or know what it's about?

I have seen this trail sign discussed before, so I'm sure somebody will come with the answer!airoff wrote:Anyone recognize this and/or know what it's about?
Some people are really fit at eighty; thankfully I still have many years to get into shape…

Hey thanks Guy- that was a quick response! I took the pic about a year ago and figured maybe someone here would know the story. I knew it looked familiar and then I saw the Chetwood trail sign! I swear I've seen other trail signs with that style. I'll have to dig more into his story....Guy wrote:It's the Basil W. Clark sign at Devils Rest it marks the beginning of the old Primrose trail.

Based on the article you linked to, I'm guessing this sign in Trapper Creek (Deer Cutoff Trail) must be one of his works as well: Thanks again for the info!

This photo I'm posting in the redwood topic is probably worth a double posting here too. In Prairie Creek redwoods.

Kudos to the trail crews and individuals that cut logs from the trails. In many cases it must be hard work and a pain to drag saws, powered or otherwise, up some of the trails. I did find evidence, however, that some people must find joy in this work, as evidenced by the many "smiley faces" along the China Creek Trail near Heceta Lighthouse on the Oregon Coast.
There are several of this style...

It was nice to be out on the trail, but these really made me smile!

On the north end of Hobbit Beach (just north of Heceta Head) there's a nice alcove...shelter from the winds that are usually blowing on the beach. On a recent hike there I ducked into this alcove to get out of the brutal wind and discovered an incredible sand sculpture in the cliff. This is incredible and must have taken many hours to construct...
This is about 1 mile north of the Hobbit Trail and approximately 1/2 mile south of the Day Use parking area of Carl G. Washburne State Park.
