We will ride the hay wagon to deliver the feed and hear about the elk management program from a refuge staff biologist.
After the tour we will leave our cars at a nearby county park and ride to Astoria for lunch on the Riverwalk
This is a free event. More information at http://www.meetup.com/Out-Spoke-n/

- TRE SHEAK BIKE MOVE
-
11:00amSome of you know Tre Arrow, and some have only heard of him. But in addition to being a fearless defender of Mother Earth and in addition to being a deeply loving person, he's also a person who needs help. He's moving and would love your bikey and bike-funista presence to help with. There's lots of stuff, he told me enough for 4-5 large cargo (Adam / Bikes Work) trailers or a dozen Burley type trailers. So let's help him do this right. Destination is about 2 - 3 miles away.
