Ever been to Mill Ends Park in Portland.

Stumbled on to its existence on one of those little "click on me" options that tells of 31 unusual places for people to visit in North America.

We've driven by it, yes. It's kind of hard to "go" to it.

It would be hard to argue that the park has kept its fashionable good looks over the years....

Note the new tree.?ÿ Apparently some idiot destroyed the original tree a couple of months ago.?ÿ When I used to work downtown I would often nude sun bath there.

@john-putnam

Well you, of all people, should voice concern about allowing Cows into the Park. I know I certainly wouldn't like nude sunbathing in the middle of town alongside a cow patty. ????

I stop at Mill End when I'm in the area.?ÿ Also visit the Willamette Stone.?ÿ Both are fun places.?ÿ The Willamette Stone is in the woods and shade so you're less likely to encounter @john-putnam sunbathing.?ÿ
