almost there...

i'm in hood river at a lil' coffee shop needing a lil break before my final decent into portland and salem. it's been a long ride from az and i'm in need of a good pair of chino like pants and then a place to lay my head for the night.

boise, the new boulder, was freezing. windy both last night at 1:24 a.m. and this morning when i left. burrr. i'm grateful i'm not living in eastern oregon. there are some pretty parts but i'm moving for some trees to be surrounding me in my life... and for a few other reasons.

as i reached around the columbia river, mt. hood appears in it's majesty and has already told me to come visit soon. it's quite a site with the river and the trees. i'm feeling good about things already. a lil stop to see an amazing waterfall and i will have to return again soon. i'm excited to see a concert at the gorge sometime. it was my wish to see dave matthews at red rocks or there so we shall see. more news to come!
