Clackamette Park, answer to Where is it Wednesday...somewhere in Oregon City 11/16/11

 

Oh boy, I can't believe I missed last week..and getting this week out late!! Congrats to Kat Palmiotti for correctly guessing my last Where is it Wednesday  titled Orenco Station, answer to Where is it Wednesday...somewhere in Hillsboro,OR 11/2/11. Each week I'll be posting a new picture on Wednesday morning(ish). The title of the blog will have the City where the picture is taken and I'll post the answer Wednesday evening...not only here on my blog, but on facebook business page (please click like and add yourself there) as well as tweetin it on my Twitter page. Remember, you're free to google or use whatever there is on hand.

Do you know where it is? Care to guess? Comments are welcome! I'll post the answer tonight.

Hint, very close to where we moored our boat.

Clackamette Park, answer to Where is it Wednesday...somewhere in Oregon City 11/16/11

Here I live just two exits away and never knew this park was here until we hubby bought a boat this past summer and we put it in the water to bring it over to moor it right in this very spot. Today, the weather was really gloomy, around 48 degrees, with the rain coming down harder than normal and that chill in the air that kinda goes through you probably (at least me anyway). Needless to say, Clackamette Park was pretty deserted. The complete opposite of when we put the boat in the water when there were lots of other boats, sun bathers, ducks and just lots of action all around.

Located at 1955 Clackamette Dr. in Oregon City, this park has a skate park, RV parking on the river, a boat docking area and a place for horseshoes as well as walking trail, swings and play areas and covered picnic tables.

Here are some of the pictures I took this morning

Hi Debb, I used to play that game when I was a kid.."Don't Spill the Beans". I ran out this morning and took some pictures...so not the best weather to be out and about. Maybe it's sunny by you!!

Hi Nestor and Katerina, thank you, Portland is a gorgeous place to live...although I would have enjoyed some sunshine this morning while taking these pictures! Hey, in Portland, nothing stops for the rain.

Hey, so we have at least two people who know where it is but won't say!  :-)  You guys should go for it...

OK, so here is my guess.  I say Clackamette Park in Oregon City.  And here's why I say that.  Using one of those nifty satellite mapping apps on my iPad, I followed the water until I came to a part in the river that looked similar to the picture above, and there are bridges there where 99E goes over the water.  And there's nothing interesting there except a park!

So there you have it!  My guess.

Hi Cindy,

You should also implement a Realtor penalty clause..... if a realtor spills the beans they have to come and bring a bag of food for the foodbank...

Love your contest, hav eno clue where it is, but the concept is pfanntastic, like the agent that came up with it.....;)

Hi Kat, you're detective work paid off once again! You're very correct and it is The bridge for lack of a better name called the Clackamas 99E Bridge  taken at Clackamette park. Now Debb probably is keeping quiet figuring she has the hometown advantage living right across the river..and we know John is trying to get more folks over to play (thanks John) so doesn't want to spill the beans..so heck..go for it!

Once you get out of you're routine, it takes extra effort to get back on. But everyone loves this weekly feature, so keep it up. We have exactly the same weather here in NY today - freezing!

Hi Jill, Oh, you are soooo right. My plan was to take some pics on Tuesday afternoon when it was fairly sunny....but life got in the way and there I was out Wednesday morning taking these pictures. I didn't like the feeling of missing even one...so off I went..downpour and all. We've had us some nasty weather and I am such a wimp now...that 48 is BRRR COLD.
