in Travel
I went to white water rafting down the White Salmon River on Thursday.
That's somewhere in South East Washington. Around Hood River but on the Washington side.
Anyway there were many awe inspiring eye shots of Mt Hood.
It was a clear day. Probably in the 90's.
White water rafting was lots of fun. Less scary than I expected.
You get wet suits and all that essential stuff.
We jumped a 6 foot waterfall. That's actually it in the picture to the right.
I didn't fall off once.
The water was 40 degrees. It was so blue and clear. A very well taken care of river. They say the water is run off from Mt Adams.
That's glacier water. I love the Pacific Northwest.
Viva Cascadia!
Anyway i'm going to quit interwebbing and read this book or draw or something.
be free fellow earthlings!

A Day In The Columbia River Gorge
Yesterday I went to the Columbia River Gorge with two of my favorite people in the entire world.
This is the magic that had happened as told through digital photography.

May your days be long and the nights be longer.
Be outside, float down rivers, climb up mountains, and do lots of camping.
Rejuvinate in the heat and don't forget to drink lots of water.

Adventuring At Mt Tabor
in Life
Today I went wandering around one of my favorite places in Portland: Mt Tabor.
Incase you didn't Mt Tabor is an extinct volcano! Just whoa!
I walked where once upon a time there there was probably nothing more than lava.
Now there are trees so tall you can't help but think you've walked into a cathedral.
It's days like this made me lust for the Pacific Northwest.
This is Cascadia.
The misty rain against my face.
The smell of the Great Sequoia trees blowing through the air.
The sound of mud being stomped below.
Baby mushrooms covering the forest floor.
The purple and gold leaves of dying plants look like something straight from Alice's wonderland.
The tree limbs look like fingers of skeletons.
The skies were grey but full of light. The clouds moved quickly.
Never once did I feel soaked.
Today was a great adventure.
Thank you Mt Tabor for making me feel at home.
