As I said, yesterday was our 34th anniversary. We headed up the Columbia River Gorge to the Pacific Crest Trail which stretches from Canada to Mexico. We hiked in a ways then took a lesser known trail to this waterfall at dry creek. I'm not sure how it got it's name.
Then down to the town of Stevenson on the river for a late lunch at a picnic table next to the river. Thai Peanut Chicken and Teriyaki Glazed Sockeye Salmon. Sorry, I don't do food pics.
We spotted this pair of Osprey feeding their young. That nest is about 4 feet wide!
Life is good and I am a blessed man to have Sara as my partner.
Everyone, keep your roll on!

Congrats on the 34 years SlingLow. In Dog Years, that's over 200 YEARS. I hit our 35th in 5 months, so i feel your pain j/k
That's Dog years. In Doug years we divide by 2. Congrats on the long run Funinthesun ! When people ask me for marital advice I have two pat answers. The 1st is, 'I don't try to run her life, and I don't try to run mine.' The other is, 'Don't ask me, I've only done it once'!'

A little more of the house
It's got a wraparound porch on three sides and even a nice place for the sling to sleep
Got a great deal by reserving it back in the winter when things were still shut down.

I was setting on the porch looking at the mountains and the houses dotted in here and there when I noticed a structure on a mountain across the valley. I knew it wasn't a house but couldn't tell what it was just by looking. I used my phone and zoomed in and got this pic
It's still hard to see but I was pretty sure it was a roller coaster, still curious I got out the binoculars and sure enough it's the old Ghost Town In The Sky, a closed amusement park. I played around with the phone and binos and got this pic

Interesting, time for a closer look. Maybe time to go over to yonder mountain.

Still waiting on a slingshotinfo coffee cup

Looks like it's going to be a great day!

FYI I did go over to yonder mountain and went up it as far as the black top went. Decided I really didn't need to see it.

Hey MACAWS you going back next weekend for the jeep rally?
I wish I could but my wife is going up north to see her mother and I have to take care of our dog, he is elderly and can't travel.
No loss there is no better group that the sling shot family
