Spent last night w/ friends from Mt Vernon, WA, had a great time. Too short, but that’s what you get sometime. The drive home across Washington was very nice and had lots of variety.

Just some shots from around the house I’m house-sitting.

After working yesterday, I took today to go to the coast. Reason was that it was raining all day on Sunday, and Monday / Tuesday were supposed to be good days. And for me they were perfect. There was some rain, but not too bad. Around 50 degrees. Hiked 1,200 feet up at Cascade, about 6 miles worth. Very worth the trip. Then later in the day (after a double scoop dipped ice cream cone from Tillimook) I hiked Cape Lookout, 5 miles round trip, around 1,000 elevation change total. Got home around 9:30 pm. Great day!

Drove to Oregon again today. I’ll be house-sitting for a week. Looking forward to working away from the office for a while, without the distractions of the office. We shall see.

Driving home, through the Colombia Gorge. Took a hike up Angel Rest Trail, just west of Multnoma Falls.

Visiting friends in Dallas, OR.
