Outside 42 p o r t l a n d monthly magazine Rockland Avenue. Its a great trail for a quick break Button says. I often eat my lunch here. As we walk from the dirt path to stomped-down grass the pond seems to grow as we approach. Though all the citys hikes are owned by Portland Trails a non-profit land trust Button and anoth- er part-time ranger patrol the areas for the department of Public Services. My of- fice is actually in Evergreen Cemetery she says. As we complete the short walk to the ponds edgeincluding a few side paths Button recommendswe encounter dogs off-leash with their owners. A yel- low lab repeatedly brings us his stick while a wolfhound mix approaches us and receives a greeting from Button I remember seeing you beforeas he sniffs around. Dogs have proven to be the biggest wild card the rangers encounter on all the trails as leash laws arent always fol- lowedor even known.
