I don't know if you got a response to the hike up the gorge question but there is a great area just by Lewis & Clark State Park, underneath I84 on the North side of the freeway that is off leash & totally wonderful!! Tons of trails, it is easy to get lost! I know because that happened to my sis & I, however, dog people being the friendly sorts they are helped us out!! Because our boys were not much help, they were having too much fun!

anyway, we have tried a few different kinds, but are partial to: SofFlite and the jawz discs.

SofFlite is made of a more bendy plastic, kind of rubbery, but is still easy to throw, and is easier on the dog's mouth. at first charlie wouldn't use anything but those. however, they do get worn out and can be punctured. charlie sometimes carries them stuck on a tooth.

the jawz discs last much longer. and they would be better for a dog that likes to chew. we like the midnight sun (glow-in-the-dark) since we play every night and it gets dark early in winter. i think we used our first glowy one for about a year and a half before it cracked and we had to replace it.

i hope ellie likes them!

What kind of hyperflite frisbee do you use? Ellie loves to play frisbee and these look good. Where did you buy them in Portland.=?

Thanks.
