I lived in Portland for years - and it's the same. Even if you did get someone on the phone, I doubt anything would happen. There's tons of cars without plates, mufflers, windshields, etc. driving around that the police don't care about.
I fear Oregon may become a flyover state. I was at a local meetup (though admittedly, all tech centric) in Portland and there was consistent joking about how Oregon is what you see when you're traveling between Seattle and California or California and Seattle.
I think the rafts you're looking at are just gear rigs, on long multi-day trips usually there is only one person with a set of oars. The boats have frames and lots of cargo space for food, clothes, toilets, tents, kitchen, etc.
Depending on the size of the boat and the difficulty of the river you can have more people on them, but still only one person rows.
Not if you go in the off season... Arches is also unique because it was legitimately seeing permanent damage due to overuse. There are plenty of other national parks in Utah you can go to whenever you like.
If you add all your bulbs to Homekit you can control them all from there. I have all my Hue bulbs in Homekit and haven't touched the Hue app for years, it's also accessible from the iOS Control Center.
I have a bunch (15+) Hue bulbs and can't stand using them with HomeKit. I can't figure out how to get the color temp to be consistent. It seems to just do whatever it wants.
Or the issue with the ozone hole in the 1980s... that was not solved by people stopping personal use of CFCs, or boycotting products that used CFCs. A multinational agreement known as the Montreal Protocol is what stopped the use and production of CFCs.
