Besides that Camelback, worth a mile carrying that thing right?:) One of these days I'd love to run that Gorge, I keep reading about it from you, Olga and Rob.

In my brief meeting it was easy to tell that she is a good partner (as are you, m'dear.)<BR/><BR/>I wanted to give you extra encouragement as you get ready for Eugene (you are running, right?) I'm still not sure I'll be able to get down there to watch, but wanted you to know I'm one of the maniac hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08930482045316180708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167702.post-6448997618564612442007-04-23T22:28:00.000-07:002007-04-23T22:28:00.000-07:00Sounds like a beautiful run and glad you didn't ha...Sounds like a beautiful run and glad you didn't have any accidents this time around :) Being out in nature is really such an amazing thing!Adelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256451142660464796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28167702.post-53246095622162606942007-04-23T20:46:00.000-07:002007-04-23T20:46:00.000-07:00Olga - Yes, on the way back we were much more bold...Olga - Yes, on the way back we were much more bold and hardly hesitated.<BR/><BR/>Michelle - There was one balancing log crossing when we had to cross Herman Creek.<BR/><BR/>Joe - Absolutely!

I can imagine it...but this flatlander from Indiana is in envy of such a weekend run!! <BR/><BR/>Glad you avoided stitches...that could have not been enjoyable to have happen out on the trail.

There are a couple more I have and use to check if it's correct, but this one is really good. It is very easy to loose a trail up there in the snow, no surprise, I had done it a few times:) Smart to turn around.
