No, We don't Wear These Clothes Every Day

A little camping, a little biking and a little wood gettin'.

This is what 21/2 miles of hike a bike in the snow will do to the running gear.

Sign up at Mt. Hood after climbing Gumjawak. Yes, your tax dollars paid for this sign.

In looking at all of our summer photos, I realized that Jarred and I are wearing the same clothes in nearly all of them. One would also think we go everywhere with our bike helmets on. We really don't but after looking back on summer so far (and smelling my helmet the other day), I think we spend a fair amount of time on our bikes. Here's a quck re-cap of the summer so far. By the way, this was the first summer in nearly 8 years that we've not been in Sun Valley, yes, we miss it but it was fun to explore the Northwest and to get some much needed house work done (more on that in later posts).

Trip #1- Mt. Hood to escape the craze of fireworks and to chop some wood and to ride bikes. I just don't get why people think they need to let of fireworks for the two weeks before and the week after the 4th. And it always seems to be people who really shouldn't be spending money on fireworks because they're on WIC or something. Back to the trip....

Rode in snow for 2 1/2 miles...reminded us that summer wasn't really here even though this was the first hot weekend. Collected wood and after Jarred tried to fell a tree that didn't want to fall and his chainsaw got stuck in the tree and he swore and threw things and finally got the chainsaw off, we rode bikes again.
