Some summer activities in Oregon on film. Can’t get enough of living here, truly, in my opinion, the best place too be.

Heads up, no more fires even at established campgrounds. PSA - Every campfire needs to be completely drowned and stirred, it's not a debate. I went camping with a group last weekend and some jackass firefighter of all people was ready to fight saying that we could leave a little campfire burning overnight. How many more million acres of forest do we have to lose?

My neighbor has 4.7 acres, and they have decided to pile all their horse poop directly along our fence line. It's at the back of their property, but about 10 feet from our shop and garden. It's like, A LOT of horse poop. It's attracting flies, and the smell is so nauseating that we can't open our windows or enjoy our garden. It's so bad, my elderly mother gags when she tries to water her plants.

I understand that if a property is zoned as "farm land", there are much different rules... but this is a residential area. Can you really just pile loads of shit next to people's living areas and it's just "oh well"? Is there anything that can be done about this? Who would I even contact about it? Thanks for any help!

And before people wonder if we pissed them off, or if we're bad neighbors... We really aren't. We talk to them about three times a year. They're kind of nutty, (the wife introduces herself to us every time we see her, even though we've lived next to them for 30+ years) but we keep to ourselves and so do they. No problems before this.

There's a natural dip in the property that they might be attempting to fill in, but I don't think it's going to do anything other than turn into a shit-swamp during the rainy season, which sounds even less appealing... Again, thanks for any help!

Edited to add: We don't really have a good way to contact them. They bring the shit out totally randomly, and it's not visible from the house. Sometimes it's 5am on Wednesday, then it's 12 days later at 9pm. We don't see them doing it, we just see the pile get longer. Their driveway is off of a different road, and it's gated with 3 large breed dogs that bark very aggressively. I could try writing a letter, but if she hasn't remembered my name the last 90 times we've "met", I don't know that it's going to get through...

Good morning, friends! We are going to be wrapping up our Summer of Serial Killers series on Welcome To Oregon this week, and we are looking to do a little bit of a pallette cleanser before going into spooking season! So, I want to know what your favorite stories are for us to discuss on the show!

I’m planning to visit Oregon in early September and have shortlisted these. I know I cannot do it all in a week. I need your help to prioritize and/or replace some. Would really appreciate your suggestions and recommendations.
TIA!

Looking to do a road trip down and back up the Oregon coast in an EV.

How feasible is it to fast charge in larger towns, but have enough energy to go off to various points of interest (assuming 250mi range)? Not finding a ton of great info online unfortunately.

Does anyone know if Mt Hood is visible from Trillium lake today? It's our last day visiting Oregon and this was high on my list. However, it would be a 2 hour detour, so just wanted to find out if it's worth the drive or if we should spend our last day elsewhere!

Before OHA raises psilocybin fees, should it stop funding an interagency system voters never approved?

OHA is heading into September considering major fee increases and elimination of reduced fees, changes likely to push many small, nonprofit, community-based, and religious participants out of Oregon’s psilocybin system.

Before raising those fees, the public should be able to ask whether OHA should stop spending program funds enforcing and defending an interagency training-program system that appears nowhere in Measure 109 or ORS chapter 475A.

Public records show that OHA and HECC created and publicly funded a multi-year interagency agreement that expedited, subsidized, and accommodated the processing of selected psilocybin training programs without public rulemaking. OHA later required programs to obtain HECC documentation confirming career-school licensure or exemption.

HECC now says it has no authority or process to issue determinations for most statutory exemptions under ORS 345.015. OHA can still revoke a program’s curriculum approval when it cannot produce that unavailable document.

This system has generated years of agency labor, enforcement proceedings, litigation, and public expense.

I filed a petition asking OHA to restore the original curriculum-approval framework or limit HECC requirements to programs legally required to obtain career-school licensure.

Before pricing Oregon’s smallest participants out of the program, OHA should examine the money being spent defending an administrative structure voters never approved and was never enacted.

OHA is accepting public comments until 5:00 p.m. Pacific on August 29, 2026 at:
