council butte...j cubed

early one friday morning

we tried to make it to sunrise...

i was late...

but it was cloudy

anyways so no real sunrise to see...

right?

this was my first "urban" hike

in the sense that we started at ohsu

and walked through staircases

upon cement staircases

through campus but it was all part of the "trail"

weird.

what's that saying?

keep portland weird.

at the top...

jeff and jonas were perplexed

at the echoing ability of the magical circle

then their true characters came out...

they needed a good picture of themselves...

and i thought women were bad...
let's just say
16 pictures later
we gave up getting the perfect shot
this is just a taste of the pictures...
i like our smiles here best

but jeff is only 3/4 there..

also i don't look so pasty here

and it's my blog so if this picture makes me feel tan

it gets posted.

deal with it people.

after escaping the more urban part

of the hike

it was back to true oregonian style

moss and all

i tried hiking back barefoot but got too cold

jeff on the other hand

was being more grounded

and having a more "in touch" session

with mother earth.

jonas and i were...

well warmer.

pretty great for a few hour break
before starting work at 10:30 a.m.
comp time is worth it
for time off like this.
