If you need some inspiration this Fall, how ‘bout planning a bike ride at Sauvie Island followed by a visit to @topazfarm? You could explore the open roads of the island and the closed aisles of a corn maze all in one day. You could carve out some time and bring life to a pumpkin. You could half smile when you’re sad, and become happy. You could be an athlete and an artist. Someone might misunderstand you, but another might stand by you, stoically, under the dark clouds.

Can you see how excited we are about our cold water swimming chat with @cindywerhane this Tuesday?
.
Cindy is a local open water swimming enthusiast with a big heart and a long list of accomplishments. She’s swam around NYC’s Manhattan Island, completed an ice km (a kilometer of swimming in water under 5 °C with only a standard swimsuit), and attempted an ice mile. She also swam around the clock on one of her recent birthdays—–one mile for every hour, starting at the top of the hour, to log 24 miles for the day. These are just a few of her many feats.
.
Most impressively, though, she remains a humble inspiration, describing herself as “just an open water swimmer who likes to share my love of the sport and what it can offer you physically and mentally.”
.
Come hear what Cindy has to say on Tuesday at 6:30 pm as she explains the sport with essential safety in mind. Contact info@tripdx.com for the Zoom link and join us for a night of fun and learning!

Ever had a chance to hold a chicken, or watch one skedaddle about in a backyard? They’re really soft and fluffy to the touch. They’re also really busy, with serious agendas, like us. Speaking of agendas—–why do they shake up the dirt so much? Are they looking for bugs? Or is it a secret ploy for human attention? To connect us back with the earth and the elements? Maybe they know what’s best for us?

Our hearts are with the residents of nearby communities who’ve been displaced or impacted by the Oregon Wildfires. We hope they are safe with their families, friends, and beloved pets. If you’d like to support the American Red Cross, you can text 503-226-5088 with the word “relief” and make a donation to the Northwest Response Fund. Some other great ways to contribute to the relief efforts are offering time, service, or supplies to emergency shelters, as wildfire evacuees need food, water, clothing, first aid, and emotional support from caring first responders, frontline workers, and volunteers. Even a small gesture, like a blanket sent from afar, could help someone begin to heal and rebuild their life.

Thanks to team member Gaby Cruz for leading us on a new swimming adventure in the Clackamas River at High Rocks Park today! Using the buddy system and swim buoys for safety, we swam the eddy before heading downstream beneath the 82nd Drive Pedestrian Bridge, where we saw a bald eagle swoop down from above. When we turned around to swim back upstream, we noticed that the current helped us work on the catch phase of our strokes, as it created more water resistance for us to pull against. We love opportunities to practice our skills in all settings! Gaby loves camping, too, and we’ll get more chances to practice swimming during our upcoming overnight trip to Timothy Lake in September. Stay tuned for more details coming soon!

Team member @seekingsuja led us on an incredible adventure yesterday through the Mt. Hood National Forest! We met at the Ripplebrook Camp Store in Estacada and took off for a 35 mile climb up to Timothy Lake, with a stop along the way to find a safe burial spot for a little bird who passed away on the road. Once we arrived at the lake, we swam across to see the crawdads on the other side, but the crawdads were hiding, and all we found was a bottle cap! When we looked a little closer, though, we realized it was really a gold coin from an old pirate ship. With our riches in tow, we hopped back on our bikes and rode 17 miles back “home” to the Ripplebrook Camp Store. We arrived there unscathed with no punctured tires and still smiling, despite the 4 mile section of downhill gravel.
.
So... to wrap up, does anyone wanna come with us next time?
