There's a mysterious area near Mt. Hood where you can only go if you're part of an organized tour. With pristine water and beautiful mountain views, the Bull Run Watershed is not only scenic, but also serves as the primary source of Portland's drinking water. I tweeted our visit in August 2015.

Bull Run Watershed Tour · ssivek
In August 2014, I went on a hike on Mt. Hood and took a wrong turn at a trail intersection. I ended up on Lolo Pass Road, staring at a sign that said I was not allowed to proceed further. I was standing at the boundary of the Bull Run Watershed, a protected area that serves as the primary source for water for Portland, Oregon -- and I couldn't set foot in it.
This mysterious area remained a curiosity for me until about a year later, when my friend @jjpeterberger and I attended a book talk by @jonbellink in McMinnville about his book, On Mount Hood.
Bell talked about touring the Bull Run Watershed as part of an organized bus trip offered by the Portland Water Bureau. That's the only way to access the depths of the watershed acreage. We signed up right away to visit the forbidden lands whose boundary turned me away in 2014.
The tour was a lot of fun. Our guides -- one of whom has worked for the Water Bureau for over 30 years -- were extremely knowledgeable about the history, natural features, and engineering of the water supply. I live-tweeted until we ran out of the AT&T coverage area, and then stored drafts until we returned (causing a minor tweetstorm).
(This cracked me up -- Portlanders are naturally caffeinated, it seems.)
Both @jjpeterberger and I have wells at home, as we live in rural areas, but we will especially savor Portland water after learning this tidbit and so much more.

The bus was pretty comfortable, but we were still glad that we never had to stay on it too long -- especially once we were in the midst of mountain scenery.

Always happy to hear about sustainability efforts like this.
Here's the Water Bureau's site about the proposed project:
... and it looks like a decision happens tomorrow.

<![CDATA[MSCM 175, Fall 2012: The Story So Far]]>

Our class's social media work so far this semester.

Storified by Susan Currie Sivek · Tue, Oct 02 2012 19:10:52

This semester, MSCM 175 students are learning new aspects of media production, including Associated Press style, blogging, and social media.
Suddenly, social media appear everywhere...

We also are using Twitter to copy edit the world (for extra credit!). Sometimes the editors get a little sassy.

The MSCM 175 students are also using their blogs to write about topics that are important to them. Austin is blogging about the great outdoors in the Pacific Northwest, and Vanessa is using her blog to write about fun new experiences.
Katelyn and Olyvia both are exploring photography through their blogs, with some amazing images of their own.
And the MSCM 175 blogs also represent other passions: Meghan's for fashion, Carrie's for cakes, and Chad's for Linfield football.
These students' work has been fabulous so far -- and we're not even halfway through the semester yet! Follow their blogs and Twitter feeds to see all the other great things they'll produce.

Here's a Storify showing a little bit of what we've done this semester so far. Enjoy!

This spring, students in MSCM 175 are using Twitter to learn how to use social media effectively for professional purposes. Students are also learning more about media and journalism through their new contacts on Twitter.
We're using our class website to share information and updates about class material.
Students are also working on their own individual blogs, each focused on a topic of personal interest.
We're making friends - little by little - with the AP Stylebook.
Now we're preparing for a visit from Leonard Pitts, Jr., the acclaimed columnist for the Miami Herald whose work is published nationwide.
This is a (older) slideshow of photos of the Linfield campus, students and athletics.

In fall 2011, the MSCM 175: Introduction to Media Writing class learned to use Twitter and blogs for professional purposes. Here's a selection of our most interesting moments on the Interwebz this fall.

Did you wonder what Zach was talking about? So did I.

Cassidy was intrigued by the interactions between the Portland Marathon and the Occupy Portland participants.

Kelsey attended Occupy Portland and wrote a blog post about it.
We also found a wide variety of strange, bizarre, and intriguing links to share with each other.
...and the semester's not over yet. What else will we find and share? Keep up the good work!
