Cape Perpetua Hike
Hiking Gwynn Creek trail with my old friends Karen and Pete
Karen and I went to Quaker high school together
Is Pete really trapped in the tree?
Coral fungus along the trail
They live in Eastern Oregon so it's a real treat to them to hike in the ferny, mossy forest of the Oregon coast

Kayak Siltcoos Outlet
The second 70 degree day we had to get on the water
It was warm and windless even at the mouth
It doesn't get any better
But I'm afraid it's the last kayak of the season

Waldo Lake Trip
Waldo was outstanding as always.
Weather was as good as it gets.
Some worked on rock art.
Some went exploring, this is my favorite cove.
The water is so clear as you can see.

Bison Jams
Bison are common in Yellowstone, this one was in Silver Gate a village on the park border.
Bison jams are common, cars can back up for miles, all you can do is wait and get some pics.
I was always glad to be in the car when we were close to these guys.
He just doesn't look all that friendly does he?

Beartooth Highway
Our last day in Yellowstone we drove NE out of the park to drive over Beartooth Pass.
At 11,000 ft it's probably windy a lot but this day it was gale force winds with blowing snow.
Mitcho had to ride over the pass anyway!
The namesake peak.
The proud cyclist.
