Scouting Bull run for Oregon Field Guide

This is a little video I put together from a recent scouting trip. It's not great quality (I just sort of haphazardly shot some scenes in between my note-taking), but it's from the Bull run watershed, which has an almost mythical status among Portlanders. For the most part, the public is restricted from entering the Bull Run in order to preserve the region's exceptional water purity. We were able to visit, accompanied by Portland Water Bureau Staff of course, in order to survey the scene for an upcoming story. In one of the scenes you can see one of the only remaining remnants of Portland's original wooden water pipe...basically just a log with a bore hole drilled through it. Portland's water used to travel through these!
