I've considered moving to Oregon somewhere outside of Portland. If I see nothing but negativity on the Portland sub and I never hear good things about the city either ..

Our own Chef Gregory of Kann's restaurant in Portland OR in addition to 3 James Beard awards has been recognized in Paris France. So nice for Portland OR to be recognized for something other than tent cities and street riots. https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/haitian-american-chef-gregory-gourdets-restaurant-kann-wins-prestigious-award-in-paris.5780726/

Saw this on my walk yesterday , and thought it made for an eerie photo !

Js there anyway to pay a summons online, ive tried looking it up but it says my summons doesnt appear online and I have no citation number to lookup. Anyone have an idea on how I can avoid driving 200 miles to pay this in court? Any help is appreciated

New to the area and want to go out for a weekend with a friend and some snow camping gear and snowshoes. We're college age and rented a FWD sedan, getting chains for it. We have a rough idea of the road to the south, and I know I need a backcountry camping permit and have read into the laws. Any survival tips or things I should know before going?

Edit: Thank you for the warnings, I will be sure to change the plan accordingly and I don't want to end up on the news (I appreciate your pragmatism). I think the car plan has to be changed, and further warmth and snow gear preparations taken in order to mitigate the risk I face up there during winter. Talking to some locals would be good, and I know some people that can help me get an idea for how stupid this idea may sound if things aren't meticulously planned in detail.

Hoping to take my girlfriend for her first snowboarding lesson, and booking a private lesson early in the season is fairly affordable.

Is the snow, on average, decent in mid-December for a first timer to start learning?

Ski season is upon us, The trip up to Mount Hood coming up from the west is my favorite, Ever since my first trip up I’ve known about the ominous curse of Silent Rock, I’ve been up to the mountain 40+ times since but the 1 time I come up from the east and bypassed Silent Rock I broke my wrist, What’s your best Silent Rock story?

I’m here visiting from California and was wondering if you have the same type of set up that we do when it comes to psilocybin. It isn’t legal in California (because it was shot down), but many of the smoke shops either don’t care or never got the memo and sell it anyways. It’s out on shelves, alongside weed and we’re all good with that. A few of my family members and I started talking about shrooms at Thanksgiving dinner and it turns out my cousins and Uncle all want to do it before I head back home on Wednesday. None of us know if it’s even possible here in Oregon so I came here to ask all of you🍄
