Wow. I knew there just had to be somebody who came really close.

That's one more scorpion than I've seen.
We saw a scorpion on the Multnomah Falls trail on June 20. I figured someone had turned it loose, but maybe not?

I'm at 54 if you include overlaps. Agreed- great list.

There are some incredible counts here. I'm going to have to get to the gorge more often.

I didn't take time to count--so many of the listings are overlaps. But the list did bring home to me that I concentrate on the places closest to my home--basically the ones along the Scenic Highway plus Larch Mountain Crater. Of course these are all a short drive for me and I use them for training hikes (may as well train someplace scenic!). But it's obvious that I need to go farther afield instead of doing the old familiar hikes!

A paltry 40. I have yet to do some of the staples on here (Dog Mountain, Catharine Creek, etc.).
