Columbia River Gorge
Saturday
Saturday evening I had the pleasure of going to hang out at my friends Kristen and Andy's house. This is the view from their front patio. Look at those colors. Fall is coming!
I only wish I could have been able to capture the stars that lit up the sky that night. Enough to make you feel really tiny, really quick like. Magical stuff.
Thank you Kristen and Andy for sharing your castle with Sabrina and I for a few moments!
Searching For Aurora Borealis
So my friends and I went in search of Aurora Borealis in the Columbia River Gorge last night to no avail.
But nothing compares to drinking beers and wandering around Multnomah Falls after dark whilst in the company of some of my bestest friends.
Just another life moment I won't be soon forgeting. The earth is our playground.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.
Triple Falls.
>> Yesterday I went out to Triple Falls in the Columbia River Gorge with my friend Jackie Jones.
<< I've been really in my head lately. Unable to speak, not sure how to convey all I've felt. A silent darkness caught in my throat.
>> The hike was a lot more intense than I had expected. Lots of steep uphill action. The kind that makes you focus on breathing. The good stuff.
<< There is so much magic right outside our doorway, Portland.
>> I like this town a lot, but when you don't have a car it's easy to forget how close to wild you can be.
<< You can get keep as close as you want or you can disappear for weeks.
>> Yesterday I went out to Triple Falls with my friend Jackie Jones.
<< I could sit here and type out all my fears or I can tell you there is magic in those hills.
>> I choose the latter and they really ain't that far away.
<< Take time to breathe, wander mountains, run down hills, splash in the water, smell the fresh air, breathe deep, breathe again and get lost in every happening.
>> There's a magic in the forest that can't be forgotten. There's a reminder of a simpler time. Before the fox became man...
Yesterday
- Yesterday when I was going for a morning walk and found a "one way" street sign. It is obviously hanging on my wall now. Those are a lot bigger than you might expect.
- I trudged through many many leaves. It looks as though there may be only a few more weeks of leaf falling. Make sure you enjoy that, Portland.
- I also found many little gadgets and had many conversations with Cougan that will most definitely play into greater writing material. I just have to sort it all out in my head.
- The most adventurous part was going to Hood River with Cougan. Hood River is a small town nestled into the Columbia River Gorge; looks like the kind of place I will train to in the dead of winter for a weekend and just let adventure happen. Not a lot there, but there's enough. It's in the gorge!!!
Today
Today I went out to the Columbia River Gorge with my friend Jackie Jones.
We took the old highway and rode under the big trees and admired the falling leaves.
It felt good to just wander around the greater nature for a little while.
