Sorry for not posting a new article over the last week. I went to El Salvador with a couple friends and just got back. A much needed break before the craziness of summer kicks into full swing. Here is one shot from our trip, and yes we scored! More posts and photos to come..... I [...]

There are seemingly endless options for things to do on a sunny spring weekend--especially here in Oregon.
