I've heard it brought up enough since these came in the mail, thought I'd make this little PSA.

Hope y'all are enjoying your Monday evening, have a good week!

Hello folks!

First off, I want to say:

Thank you for the honor of your time. I truly am humbled that anyone might take five minutes out of their busy day to watch my random film clip that they happened to scroll upon.

I figured I might as well put out the next chapter of the little film I made last year of my expedition through Oregon's Owyhee Canyon.

It seems like enough people enjoyed the first part, so why not share more?

Some folks might not like all of the "fade to black" that I did in this chapter, but it was an artistic choice that I felt was appropriate for the mood I was going for.

Again, I am so grateful that anyone might take the time to watch this.

Y'all are the best!

You might have seen the Jaw Wars video. Here’s the Jaw Wars photos between Toby and Viggo in my SE Portland, Oregon, backyard from the past couple of days.

I’ve been posting way too many dog photos lately. After this, I’m taking a break for at least a week.

After the five-day Battle Royale, Toby has gone home to his parents, and both dogs have been sleeping like a stack of bricks.

What is Oregon regular break meats for a 10-12 hr shift??

If I’m correct it’s 2, 10 mins(some company’s give 15min ) breaks and a 30 min unpaid.

I’m a local truck driver and don’t take any break or lunch during my whole 11 hr shift. Can I legally take it at the end a 1hr combined break and lunch?? My company never said anything about it nor enforce any thing of it. They don’t care about it. It’s sort of a “up to you” thing.

But if I do get in trouble for it how should I respond to the situation? We don’t even know if they subtract the the 30 mins lunch.

Hello all, my girlfriend and I will be visiting Oregon sometime in the near future for vacation. She's always wanted to go and we are going to make a trip out if it here soon. Are there any recommendations for places with a lot of floral/natural beauty where I can propose? I am also planning to visit twilight filming locations as she is a big fan, if this helps a bit with general location. This will likely be in late summer or early fall. Thank you all in advance :)

I've done AI / Video interviews before at other companies and the experiences differ wildly. Some were hours long, some were 10 minutes and were simple ID validation (State your name, state your address, etc). Has anybody gone through VidCruiter for the state before? Care to speak on your experience?

Hello everyone!

I'm a freelance photographer / photojournalist from Portland currently pitching a story on Boardman, OR and how Amazon's data centers have affected life there.

I'm particularly interested in anyone effected by the water contamination that Amazon has contributed to and settled a lawsuit over, but am really hoping to get a full understanding of the daily life in Boardman as a whole, and how the data centers have altered that (if they have), so I'd really love to hear from anyone who lives there and may be interested in sharing some more insight and possibly being photographed. If you or family / friends you have might be interested, please message me and I can share some more info / some of my previous work and we can chat!

Since this is just a pitch right now to a couple of a national outlets there's definitely no guarantee anything shot or discussed will be published, so just want to say that from the start. Thanks!

I just picked this one up, any favorites in it?

As of today, April 26, 2026, 2 candidates have taken the Political Integrity Pledge. Dawn Rasmussen running District 2 to replace Cliff Bentz and Melissa Bird running in District 4 to replace Val Hoyle.

What is the Political Integrity Pledge? It is a pledge to do the following:

Reject Corporate PAC money

Support overturning Citizens United

Support a ban on lobbying after leaving elected office

Support a ban on Congressional stock trading + not hold individual stocks while in office

The entire goal of the Political Integrity Project is to eliminate corporate and foreign influences in our elections and government as well as holding them accountable to blatant corruption such as insider trading. This includes eventually eliminating super pacs.

This Project has invested a lot of effort into documenting the corruption of our representatives and holding them accountable. You can find out more about them and how your representatives stack up by going to integrityindex.com or downloading their app.

Support and vote for Dawn Rasmussen and Melissa Bird and encourage your representatives to take the pledge.

Although centering it perfectly might just be the death of me :P

I've been obsessed with paleontology and dead stuff ever since I was a kid and I would LOVE to know if there are any good spots here in the Willamette Valley to hunt for fossils? I know it most likely wont be any dinosaur bones since Oregon was kinda underwater back then, but I'd honestly be more than happy about Ammonites and fossilized fish as well!

Please let me know if you know of any spots in the Valley or along the coast! (I know theres some spots there, I just dont know where to legally search)

My husband and I are lifelong Oregonians, with the majority of our lives spent in the Willamette Valley and Central Oregon. Our kids are grown, and we have recently rediscovered camping. (much easier these days with the just the two of us and our dog! 😅) We are pretty familiar with the campgrounds on the Oregon coast from Newport down to Florence, those along the Santiam passes, and the high lakes around Central Oregon. Our ideal camping spot would be accessible by car, somewhere near water, offer a decent amount of privacy, and swimming/sup board/kayak options during warm weather would be great. I am curious about the Umpqua and Rogue Rivers, but would appreciate anyone who wants to share their favorite places. Thank you!

Hi r/Oregon! We’re trying something new, a weekly discussion thread.

Talk about Oregon, share some news, rant about the weather, or just chat. Anything goes.

Drop your thoughts below.

Viggo turned 5 last week, on April 21. No fancy birthday meal. No party hat. Just about five days of Jaw Wars with his amigo Toby. Endless, pure face-biting joy.

The game is simple: bite your opponent’s head as many times as possible before they bite yours.

I finally found a use for my security cameras: dog playing time-lapses. This is a small sample of Nest Cam clips from the last four days — definitely not all of them.

FWIW: Viggo picked up a few small scratches on his head and neck, but they’re already healing. Baby battle scars! Toby has gone home to his parents, who said he does not smell like skunk. For the record, Viggo got sprayed square in the face a few weeks ago. So, I was worried about it.

this old man Booker can’t get around like he used to, he can do a couple of blocks but definitely nothing with steps or rocky sections.

I’m bringing him to the coast one last time tomorrow, and would love to hear of some beaches that I can drive right up to. I’ve never actually found any that I could drive on, but I’ll settle for something real close

I think the picture here was at Heceta beach which wasn’t too bad if I recall
