Roadtrip! Labor Day Weekend Exodus

Natharbi participated in the mass exodus from the metropolitan area of Seattle down to the Columbia River Gorge Valley. Nathaniel's brother Tony flew in from Chicago so almost the whole clan was there. Don't miss it next year Tom!

We spend some quality time with Nathaniel's family and get in a lot of recreation. We biked, hiked, and ate very well thanks to Nathaniel's sisters, Joyce and Joan; who, by the way, planned the whole event-THANK YOU.

Natharbi slept in a tent that had THE BEST view, probably one of the best on the planet.


We left midday to join the traffic south and arrived in time to set up the tent before dark, make introductions, enjoy dinner and realize we had a twin air mattress, not a double. Oww my back, Joan saved us with a trade the following night.

So all you folks out there who doubted that I could camp and show a little bit of outdoorsy-ness, (even if it wasn't by definition completely camping) stop by my office and pay up.

Below is Echo the Happy Golden Retriever, she is always shaking this is the clearest photo available.











Get ready, tomorrow ride details.....
