Portland Approach called out a converging plane near my altitude. I couldn't see it because it was in the sun until it passed by a half mile or so away. I crossed the Multnomah Channel and was approaching Scappoose when Portland Approach cut me loose. Shortly afterwards I heard Approach talking to a pilot who wished to practice insturment approaches to Scappoose. By the time I saw his plane he was within a mile of me, near my altitude.
Vernonia is another grass strip.
A hill near the east end of the strip suggested a curved approach. The Sun was near sunset and I would have landed to the east, but the windsock indicated enough wind to suggest otherwise.
