Who needs a membership to the gym when you've got places like the St. John's Bridge? Just grab, lift and repeat.

The St. John's Bridge

VIDEO #305
Song - "Anonanimal" By Andrew Bird
Portland... the city of roses, breweries, strip clubs and bridges. I haven't really filmed a ton of the city mainly because it's a pain in the butt lugging gear around and parking isn't in my budget. On the other hand, it is easy to head to the many city parks, stash the car (for free) and film as you please. Here is a good example. Cathedral Park is directly under the St John's Bridge and is not your ordinary park. Signs that read, "Falling overhead objects, park at your own risk" upon arrival makes you wonder what these objects might be? Well worth the trip, just don't forget your helmet.

Expedition #1: Waterfall

VIDEO #193
Song - "Woods" by Bon Iver
The Columbia River Gorge is home to many spectacular waterfalls and a rainy day usually means less people heading out to them. Sure, you'll get a bit wet, but that's where the fun happens. Plus.... it's a natural and free way to get a quick shower! No wonder my cell phone doesn't work anymore...

LONGest BEACH

VIDEO #117
Song - "My Beach" by Human Highway
28 sandy miles makes Long Beach, Washington the longest beach in the world (further research proves it isn't but it is the United States longest which is pretty fantastic). With foggy and brisk weather, we had to wear what we could find from our recent visit to Long Beach's annual rodeo (awesome videos sure to follow). Besides the unpredictable weather, a great place to get some fresh chowder and possibly catch your own, driving on the beach, amazing bakery, great people watching and of course the Long Beach Tavern aka the LBT to wet your whistle after long windy walks on the beach. Oh, and the bridge you'll see spans the Colombia River from Oregon to Washington. Also, great fun.
