I was on assignment this past week for the Portland Tribune shooting for a story about the Frog Ferry, the proposed transit project to create a passenger ferry down the Willamette river in Portland. The ferry would serve as an additional transit option for Portlanders, shuttling trips of up to 70 from the St. Johns neighborhood in North Portland, to a number of docks and eventually into downtown Portland, before returning upriver.

The project is still in its funding stage, so for the story the reporter and I joined Frog Ferry staff, supporters, and other media for a test-ride of the proposed route, on board a small cabin-cruiser brought down from the Columbia River Gorge. Susan Bladhom (pictured below), founder and president of Friends of Frog Ferry, served as our tour guide for the adventure.
