You've probably purchased one of Bob's products. Milwaukie is the home to his mill, as well as, the company store and restaurant. We recommend going there for breakfast. Sometimes you'll see Bob there. He shows up unannounced and surprises his employees.
He'll show up on his birthday and play the piano too!
And yes, Bob really does wear that hat!!!

Rail to Trail walking thru the neighborhoods.
This rails to trails project is right outside our front door. In fact, our street had trolley tracks going down the middle of it until 1969 when the trolley from Portland to Oregon City was decommissioned.
The trail was established in 1992 and is a multi use path for bikes and walkers. You'll find us out walking on the trail everyday getting our 15K steps in.
