So far, I'm yet to witness a June in Portland that doesn't rain for the first 2 weeks straight. The possibility of getting caught in a downpour is almost always on the table round these parts.
The Burnside Skatepark in Portland is one of those things that you always hear about, but it's hidden in such a way that you aren't likely to ever just stumble upon it. You have to really go looking for it. Or, y'know -- know [...]
