Short range but pretty up there. It was very tempting to stop and jump in the Clackamas river on the drive home.

I got the story done! Lots of photos to pour through and organize, but got it put together to tell the story. I'll work on a video or two and post the link to that (probably by next weekend).

For now, here's my story and I'm sticken to it!

Well done, I salute you intrepid folks. You all were very near me but I'm not sure where you were. I have health issues which kept me out of the festivities. i really liked image 1 & the difference of image 24.
The image from the ridge, I'm thinking sunset Friday eve? Thank you Cogs for your stewardshipness, as well as to all the other folks who partook.
I really enjoyed seeing mom & dad bring the kids out to teach good learning moments. All of you are awesome!

Thanks @Cogs for the continued commitment to this mission, and bringing everyone together. I had a great time, it's awesome to see what can be done when everyone is on the same page and cares for the lands we know and love.

I didn't take too many pics, but here are a few of the day before hanging out with @Cogs @Reno and @Rem700..300 during the sunset hike... I'm definitely going to have to return to explore those trails.

What chemical(s) do you spray onto the graffiti and how effective is it?

What chemical(s) do you spray onto the graffiti and how effective is it?

It's a biodegradable solvent called Bare Brick and Stone, formulated by Worlds Best Graffiti Removal System (they have several solvents for various surface types).

We do 3 applications of solvent and brush, then rinse with the pressure washer. If it's one layer of graffiti, it comes right off. If it's multiple layers, we usually need to repeat the process until we get the last layer.
