Bicycle picture of the day
At one of the new observation points on the extensively relandscaped Johnson Creek meander just southwest of the intersection of Luther St & the Portland Traction ROW. Apparently a sewer main goes under this area, and flooding a few years ago deepened Johnson Creek so the point where it exposed the main (I have pictures of various bicycles at more-or-less this location – 20 feet down – that shows Johnson Creek falling over what I thought was a ledge but turned out to be a sewer main) and the sewer department chose to rip the existing landscaping out and raise everything as part of their sewer main repair/relocation(?) effort.
So my old scenic point for voiding warranties is now buried under 20 feet of fill, and instead of scrub brush and grass it’s a vast field of dirt with geotextile , saplings, and industrial buildings. Oh well, sic transit gloria mundi; after a few years, and modulo destructive flooding, everything will grow up and start to look better.
