Garden near Salem

Interested in geology and would love to walk up this thing. I don’t see any official trails listed. Can you hike it? If so, any tips for parking/starting?

Bikepacking through Oregon and bent my derailleur on my Surly Krampus (forgot a spare. Doh!). I would like to adjust it but don’t have a tool for it. I’ll be in Chemult tomorrow and the next morning. Just checking if anyone passing through could let me use it for a moment. I’ll buy you a meal and a beer! Thanks friends.

I’m hoping I could get some help from someone who knows more about this area from fellow Oregonians. I’m a stay at home mom. We’re currently living on my husbands income. My husband relapsed (alcoholism) right now the situation feels very unstable and so far he’s able to keep his job and function. The kids and I have had ohp for our medical insurance which has been very helpful. For me having those benefits has been life saving because it helped cover my antidepressants and therapy which I really need right now - therapy more than anything! I also get chronic UTIs so I need to be able to get emergency antibiotics. A week ago I found out that I no longer qualify and have been termed due to my husband’s higher income. They said he makes too much. Even though he makes good money we still struggle as many other families do now and since our youngest is still very little we wanted to wait about another year for me to go back to work so that we only have 1 daycare payment instead of 2. I’m aware that I’m in a bad place and need to have a plan to leave but I also feel scared that he will be granted time with the kids and with me not being around them it won’t be safe for them to be with someone who’s drunk and/or stoned the whole weekend. When I told him I was termed he told me it’s fine we’ll find something in marketplace. To add me to his works insurance is incredibly expensive and wouldn’t be affordable to us. Marketplace is around 400/month. Which is almost not doable for us..but we’d have to make it work. The issue is his drinking got out of hand last weekend right before he said “we’ll figure it out tomorrow” as he usually does and then doesn’t. I found a plan but he didn’t agree to it yet and I have no way to our funds…dang that sounds weird now that I say that out loud. But my husband usually Venmo’s me money every month for groceries and gas and then I nanny so that I can have some extra spending money for anything else. He fully controls the money at this time and has said he’d add me to the bank account but never has. We got into a fight and I brought up some ugly truths to him about his behaviors/drinking and refused to be intimate because of his irresponsible drunken behaviors last weekend. He went into a pouty pissed off place and is now basically doing a silent treatment. It has been a week and I brought it up a few times but he has ignored me. I’ve had to cancel my therapy this week and started slowly getting off of my antidepressants. My therapy appointment next week was an important one as it was my first EMDR for ptsd so losing that would absolutely suck. I tried to call different organizations for help but couldn’t find anything. It seems like ohp refuses to care since his income is high (around 100k a year for a family of 5) and marketplace said they can’t help with lowering the price. All the other private insurances I called cost the same as marketplace or more. I’m now considering separation for many reasons but this being one of them. So I can have resources like health insurance while I get on my feet and get us set up. The kids are still protected under it. But a legal separation can take a long time I’m reading. Can someone help me out with this? Are there any options for me?

I actually want to date someone from Oregon. Not a crypto scammer or someone from Washington or someone who travels a lot from San Fran. No.

I want a human connection. Where are you? You have a job and all your teeth.

I live in Salem, where's the best place to go looking for a cheap Ford pickup?

Looking for a 90s automatic regular cab, but I'd settle for anything that's cheap and drives. Thank you for your help!

Does anyone know why the "fast lane" passes are not available on livenation for the Noah Kahan concert at The Gorge? When I click on the link, it takes me to a "page not found".. WHYYYYYY??????? Ugh. This is my first concert here, can someone shed some light on this?

I tried biking up Lolo Pass from Mt. Hood Village a couple of years ago. The road was closed for construction. Want to try again, but am apprehensive about how much motorized traffic there might be, especially logging trucks. Would appreciate any advice/warnings. Thx.

Hello I am currently working in Florence an moving there or a nearby town (Mapletom, Reedsport) Are there any good places or social events in the area to make friends and build connections? Especially for a younger person (28) It's a small town but I just want to put some feelers out there to see if there is anything

My fiance and I just drove down 101 from seaside to the redwoods and now we are making are way back up. We will be in Eugene tomorrow evening and was wondering if there’s anywhere free to park the van to stay overnight?

We’re traveling up the coast of California and have been researching camping along the Oregon coast and there is none.

At all. Is this true? What’s up Oregon? I know you’re beautiful but how can I see you?

Sad in California.

Hey has anyone ever gotten there registration and plates automatically sent to them before? We submitted nothing and paid no fees but here we are with registered plates.

Anyone know what happened on I5 South just south of Salem? It says there’s a crash and that all lanes are closed. We’ve been here about 20 minutes or so. Obviously there was a crash, but does anyone know any specifics? We haven’t seen any tow trucks or emergency vehicles at all.

So my little family just checked out La Pine State Park and Campground for the first time, and it was pretty chill. We wanted to check out something close by to get our old 1987 Jayco mini dialed for the summer camping months. Has anyone been here before? Anyone have other suggestions on Central Oregon RV camping spots we should check out?

WARNING: There are two questions here with exactly opposite answers. If you answer “No” to “Did You Work?” (The big, bold question)….. no payment for you!

Meanwhile my wife applied the first day she possibly could after giving birth to our child and it took 8 weeks to get approval. Now she won’t get her first week of benefits because this stupid website is so poorly designed and nobody will answer the phone to help us correct our mistake.

My bad I guess. I wasn’t expecting to have to use my SAT testing skills to answer the very first question, which is NOT “Did You Work?”…

I have 4 days to get between these locations. I feel I'm missing something. I would like to stay on the Eastern part of WA and OR if possible and am open to traveling thru Idaho
