Recovering well from the fire we had in 2017. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen again.

Is that Multnomah, @op? I’ve been a few times and it is so pretty!!
StraightOuttaOptions
That is correct

Part of environment day is acknowledging that we live on stolen land.

Bad flashbacks to the flood I'm still recovering from...

Fucking Portland Native that's Multnomah Falls bitches! Off of Highway 84 heading East from Portland Exit 31. Better be early!
TinyLiehon
Remember that Airbender saying the monks had? "Abandon hope"? Hoping doesn't stop fires. Action does.
TinyLiehon
Note that the episode doesn't fully agree with that saying as we learn by the end

Today's International Holocaust Remembrance Day? But you helped me find this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_environmental_dates

I would love to nap there. I've been as a child... I wonder if I did nap.

Do they still require tickets to visit? Also is there a bathroom to use there?
n0n53n53
I think they're doing them in the summer months to cut down on traffic on the old highway
coffeysays
No tickets when I was there in October. There's a cafe and toilets.
Peachos
Did they start doing tickets during covid because I don't remember tickets before that?
SoftKleenex
Yea tickets were definitely a covid thing, I went before covid and you just walk in whenever
OregonFlyer
Haven't been in years, too many people, can't get up the trails without having to wait, miss the days when it was quiet and peaceful to go
n0n53n53
don't go in the summer. Spring and fall, especially mid week are best.
Kjasi
I miss Multnomah Falls...
malvithus
Indeed
kitchdoh
Thanks for confirming, I knew I’d been here before.
nutmegonyourdoodle
Don’t worry it’s still right where you left it, waiting.
wadatahmydamie
Multnomah Falls is awesome, but super crowded - nearby there’s another one you can walk behind
monikir
seriously when was this video taken? where are the other 200 people?
wadatahmydamie
Maybe it was during an IPA release party. New flavors: Bark dust and pine sap
TheGhastHunter
Oneonta falls is my favorite
TheBigMcC
Thanks for naming the place. I had it as Rivendell …

The beautiful Multnomah Falls.. I was on that bridge one freezing New Year’s Day, and a couple days later I got pneumonia :’(

That was also on the bingo card.

Little shit that started the fire got off easy

I was so mad a group of idiot kids were throwing fireworks DURING A FIRE BAN in one of the most beautiful places in the NW to hike.
PackedCatMeowingPowerDensity
In hindsight a forest fire makes sense, but for a second or two I was like: Waterfall on fire? Checks out with the 2020 luck.

Doesn't look like he came away so easy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Creek_Fire

$36 million, from a 15 year old.
swanglemydangle
So they put the kid on a ten year payment plan to pay $36 million. Seems like it was a realistic goal.
Lordlabuck
aahaa, screensaver with sound. nice
StraightOuttaOptions
Pretty much what I do
Lordlabuck
you save screens?

My favorite hiking spot Eagle CreekTrail, destroyed by a teen throwing fireworks down a cliff. I cried for days. 2017 was bad year for me
wadatahmydamie
The only solace I’ve been able to take is that we have the opportunity to see it grow from the beginning. I’ve helped replant up there.
ironymus
The teen is paying for it for the rest of his life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Creek_Fire
fandsor
How the hell is this kid supposed to pay $36 million in 10 years? I'm not even sure I've made $1 million in 10 years...
gypsyspot
he is not expected to pay in full. his salaries will be docked until the ten year period has passed, then he will pay no more.
gypsyspot
my guess is that this was to set him up as an example for all the other dumb people, similar to how class action suits work
Hammertulski
I have fond memories of heading up to Punchbowl with someone who passed in 2020, and can’t go back and remember them. I feel ya, it’s tough.
kutison
It was reopened like two years ago. Punchbowl looks very different though. The hill on the far side collapsed.
Hammertulski
Good to know, I think the last time I checked was September 2021 and it was still closed off at the trailhead.
kutison
I think they opened it briefly and shut it back down again because the hillside by the freeway was unstable
