温哥华

The creek runs through a greenway one and one-half miles long, flanking a checkerboard of agrarian, residential and utility company property.

Those of us who trek the wilderness in the Great Northwest have some very peculiar people to thank.  A little more than a century ago, as the burgeoning industrial revolution began to trammel its way across the country, the owners of railroads, municipal water holdings, the telegraph, and those new-fangled monstrosities known as electric power companies, all found themselves in a pickle.

To ply their trade they needed space; more to the point, they needed specific routes through the space that other people had, or could have, just by parking their wagons and calling it home. More critically, they didn't want to have to pay for it, at least not at the going rate.

They were able to convince the local, county, state and even the federal government (none of which needed much convincing), that it would be in the nation's best interest to grant a set of low-to-no cost easements ceding to these entities the rights-of-way through any obstacle which might come into their path.

And while this over-simplification of events would not earn even a solid "D" in an intro to contract law course, it brings to light an undeniable reality: a lot of the wilderness we get to enjoy in this part of the country is there because someone took it and never gave it back.

This became abundantly clear to me this Summer and Fall when I hiked no fewer than five major wilderness areas whose sole purpose, were they not wilderness, would be to provide a conduit for some sort of consumer service.  In Washington: Dog Mountain, Hamilton Mountain, Table Mountain and the complex of trails at Coyote  Wall are all criss-crossed with power lines.  They don't overwhelm the landscape, but there they are.  In Oregon, Mount Defiance is essentially the state's tallest communication tower; Forest Park combines water, electricity, and phone routes that are hidden so well in places, you'd never know they were there.

The Burnt Bridge Creek Greenway, here in Vancouver, would simply not exist today, save for its designation as a right-of-way for Bonneville Power and the local railway. Homes were built right up to its rim, and a residential (essentially rural road) was grandfathered in before it was declared a wetland refuge, but the area itself remains blissfully exempt from development.  It is home to at least a dozen species of waterfowl, herons, eagles, peregrine falcons, beavers, otters, coyote, deer, and all the usual characters thriving in an urban wildlife setting.  As far as the animals are concerned, the place is more or less the way they found it.

Did all this open territory come down to us by accident? Was it the by-product of both greed and a none-too-coincidental "cooperative understanding" between the private sector and those charged with protecting the public's interests?  Well, kinda.  

But ironically enough, without that century-old landgrab, we might no longer be able to enjoy some of the Nothwest's most beautiful places. It will make me shake my head and smile every time I think about it.  But I, for one, am grateful.
Here in the Northwest, we don't get to see blue sky very often in the winter time.  But when we do, we tend to make it count.

Late check in due to flight cancelled, but didn't explain change reservation, which cause we had to moved out the room in the evening from the 2nd day of our 3 day booking. Hopefully we didn't get double charged.

Nice little park in the middle of Vancouver, WA. The switchbacks up the hill, surrounded by tall trees will make you feel like you're a lot further from town. It was a nice, quiet place to stretch my dogs legs for a bit and eat my lunch from nearby Panera Bread.

在榛谷南区期间,您可以规划行程参观附近地区的学院和温哥华农产市场,这两处景点绝对值得一逛。
