Portland Summer 2010

Headed to Portland to visit Becky a couple of weekends ago. Had an awesome time!!

Halfway up Mt. Pilchuck

I've been wanting and waiting to hike up Mt. Pilchuck for about 2 years now and finally did it this weekend! It was the first mountain I've ever summited! Steve, Hannah and I, and our friend Grant, and our new friend Melissa (who is interning at OPT), hiked the 5340 ft mountain to the look out tower above. Unfortunately, the clouds never went away, so we were unable to view all the other mountain peaks and cities from above. Not to worry, we had a great time and Hannah is laying next to me on the couch completely wiped out!

Tour De Whatcom

My riding buddy, Joan, and I

I completed my first Bicycle Tour of the summer this weekend! I had a blast being back in the saddle again! I even met someone who knew the Houghton area of the U.P and had an immediate riding buddy for the tour since I went solo. It was a 25 mile ride, less than what I've done in the past, but it was a great workout and I look forward to participating in more bike tours before the summer's end!
