Last Farmer's Market

Shoppers are so happy to get the local organic produce

Alpha Farm has a great display. We will all miss our market very much. What will we eat?

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

Ridin my bike


I've been getting out on my bike almost every day. Can't believe it's the end of October!

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

Hobbit beach walk


What a day for a walk on the beach! Mike and Monica came over and we did the China creek loop.

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.

Mt. Hood Camp


Our last campsite right on the East Fork of the Hood River.


It hosts winter and summer steelhead runs and the river's threatened Coho salmon too.

Quaking Aspen as well as Larch and Cottonwood were golden



On the trail to Tamawanas Falls


The falls themselves, gorgeous hike, big trees.

Stop at Timberline Lodge on the way home, there was snow!
