Nope.
But did see a advertisement for L.L. Bean that offered a flannel shirt I might want.

Crap! The Gorge will never be the same for me.
I grew up sneaking out into The Gorge on summer days. My parents never found out that we'd ride our bikes out of Portland to the Sandy River and The Gorge to swim and hike during our summers out of school. I've hiked most of the trails out there at one time or another. I was riding a bike out the old highway to Multnomah Falls when Mt St Helens blew her top but that was long after I was out of school.
I'll probably still go there from time to time but it will be different now.

Yes, and you are different now.
Sad, that these things happen and destroy the joy of places we treasure. I hope the young guy who tossed the fireworks into the grass/bushes becomes sensitive enough to feel the guilt and act on it in some way to pay back in part what he destroyed.

How would you know if I'm different now? You presume a lot.
I think I'm quite the same, just a little slower and more tolerant. Otherwise, I'd tell you to fuck off.

You were a KID when you related your experiences that you seem to have fond memories of.
So yes, I assume you are very different now.
Many of us have places we look back on and remember that time as special. My comment was only that it's sad someone destroyed the place.
But, I'm slower and more tolerant too, so my comment to you is:
Think twice. Post once.

Good thing I'm more tolerant. Okay. I guess I missed the "tone". I get my back up when it's even suggested you were about to tell me to fuck off.
