SUMMARY:Live Freeways goes Camping at Stub Stewart SP
CONTACT:Bureau of John Russell
DESCRIPTION:Please RSVP: camping limited to 10 people\nYou’ve heard of the
  Dead Freeways Ride exploring the Portland freeways we’ve never built or 
 removed entirely\, but what about all the freeways that did get built? Did
  you know that the majority of Portland-area freeways are legally open to 
 bikes and non-motorized vehicles? Did you know that Oregon State Parks 
 were originally developed as a branch of the Oregon State Highway 
 Department thanks to the same declaration that preserved public ownership 
 of our Pacific beaches?\n\nA representative from the Bureau of John 
 Russell will be on hand to familiarize everyone with the intricacies of 
 OAR 734-20-0045: Prohibition of Non-Motorized Vehicles on Freeways. He’ll 
 show you the ropes\, having ridden every mile of freeway in Western Oregon
  himself. With over 50\,000 miles of cycling experience\, and thousands of
  miles of unsupported bike touring\, he will also show everyone the ropes 
 of bike touring and camping\, so please come prepared with hammocks\, 
 tents\, sleeping bags\, and anything else you need for an enjoyable night 
 outdoors at LL Stub Stewart State Park. There may be an attempt to provide
  a support vehicle to carry gear for those with limited carrying 
 capacity\, but support is not guaranteed. Please bring approximately $20 
 cash to cover camping fees\, MAX fare\, food\, and firewood\, etc. but no 
 one will be turned away due to lack of funds.\n\nMeet at 11\, ride at 
 11:30 am. We’ll be starting in SW Portland at the Goose Hollow MAX Station
  (SW 18th & Jefferson). For the main portion of the ride\, we'll travel on
  over 20 miles of wide shoulders in a nearly straight line along US 26\, 
 originally planned as the "Wolf Creek Highway" and more commonly known 
 today as the Sunset Highway. After a supply stop in Banks\, we'll enjoy a 
 much quieter afternoon along the car-free Banks Vernonia Trail before 
 making camp at two reserved hike-in camp sites at L.L. "Stub" Stewart 
 State Park\, for a total of ~35 miles on Saturday. On Sunday\, we will 
 break camp (1 PM checkout) and meander up to 30 miles back to the MAX Blue
  line in Hillsboro through scenic rural Washington County.\n\nIn total\, 
 the ride will be an approximately 65 miles long over two 30- to 35-mile 
 days. While the route does not loop\, we will connect to the MAX on each 
 end\, so please bring appropriate fare unless you want to bike the whole 
 way home. \n\nFor those of you who would prefer to ride on your own and 
 meet us along the way or at camp\, an approximate route is posted below. 
 Please do not drive to the campground without coordinating beforehand\, as
  parking may be limited at costs $10/night. Camping is limited to ten 
 people\, so please RSVP if possible:
