Day: June 22, 2015

Kim and Charlie invited me with them for a morning Father’s Day hike along Ladd Creek Canyon Road (or is it Ladd Canyon Creek Road?), accessible via Exit 270 from I-84.  That road turns out to be the boundary line for a hunting area.  Inside the hunting area, at least for the several hundred feet we walked into some of its trails, the grounds are littered with shotgun shell casings, plastic bits and all manner of trash, with even many trees showing “gunshot wounds”.  On the other side of the road (where the creek flows), it is utterly pristine.  You can guess where we concentrated our activities.
