Everybody’s goin’ off the deep end
A blow-by-blow account of my weekend:
- Friday morning: arrive at work, unload bike bags, drop off bike at Bike Gallery for repairs next week
- Friday: work, trip planning & preparation, Max ride to Gateway Transit Center (no bike)
- Friday evening: Tina and boys pick me up at Gateway TC, dinner at El Sombrero, shopping at Costco, strained right calf walking to checkout line
- Friday night: organized trip items at home, haircut, Tivo watching
- Saturday morning: woke up early to finish organizing trip items, discovered that I didn’t have my travel papers, emailed office admin and a co-worker to help retrieve it
- Saturday morning (continued): packing for camping (Tina had pre-organized) using our new roof rack, meet up with scouts for 9:30 am departure to Beacon Rock
- Saturday morning (later): Arrive at Beacon Rock @ one hour later, setup camp as rain begins, twisted right ankle stepping in mole hole, helped John setup portable canopy near our tent
- Saturday: huddled under canopy and cooked occasionally, skipped 1.5 mile hike up Beacon Rock because of rain, calf and ankle – Graham disappointed
- Saturday evening: enjoyed Boy Scout Campfire including two flag retirements
- Saturday night: retired early and muddily to bed, slept well despite the loud nearby campsites, awoke twice to urinate, wiped my muddy feet on my pants before getting back in bed
- Sunday morning: awoke @ 7:00 am, struck camp and packed for home
- Sunday morning (continued): Breakfast at Charbroil’s in Cascade Locks, drove home
- Sunday morning (continued): Arrived home, checked email and received missing travel info, showered (while Tina unpacked the car), packed my bags (using this list), cleaned cat box, put out recycling, drove to airport
- Sunday afternoon: waited at airport and started writing this
