Macleay Park in Downtown Portland

Today Roger and I discovered a treasure right inside the city.  It's a large wild park on the edge of a residential area called Macleay Park.  You can find interesting information by viewing:

He's required to take one science class so he chose to study insects and water ecology.  One assignment is to find insects that live in water and catalog them by their species.  SO............. today Roger was creating a little bit of drama after climbing down an embankment into Balch Creek to find insects under the rocks.  I stayed on the trail to make sure he didn't fall into the water or have any problems.  Now we're home with a bucket of teeny/tiny bugs........... What will he do next???

If he doesn't get his quota for his assignment, we'll have to return - but - next time we'll take a picnic lunch and enjoy walking some of the trails.
