So we are officially one month into our nationwide tour. It's been a fun month so far. Lots of camping, more than enough landscapes and SCENEry, and lots of good stories. We've managed to meet some new people and some old friends. I've been enjoying every minute of it. The worst part will be in July when it is all over.
I've been blowing it with the blog updates the past few days but here's what's been going on:
We've been hanging out at Mt Hood, OR for the past week or so now. The weather has been less than ideal, our living situation in the Airstrip at Trillium Lake has been quite soggy, despite planning our trip around the weather as best we could.
Art and Zach left Sunday but unfortunately the rain stayed. We left Portland after staying with Art's aunt and taking them to the airport. We got our lives back together from the debauchery that preceded us. Nate got some meds for his cough while I changed my oil and got groceries. We made a few other pit stops and ate some food and blogged along the way.
The rain followed us back to the mountains like a bad habit. Every stop we would make along Highway 26, the rain would creep up on us by the time we got back into the car. As we drove we outran the rain, but it would keep coming back. As we pulled into Trillium Lake we ran into our neighbor Jerad, all alone, chopping wood soaked to the core (I forgot to mention earlier that our neighbors were planning on throwing a week-long party at the campsite next to us). Well, due to the rain, all the campers left. Except for Jerad who was asleep. We got him back up on his feet by taking him into Government Camp to dry some clothes with us. We hung around for a bit, shot the shit, and when our stuff dried, left Govy. That night we huddled around his campfire thanks to an awesome 2-fer-1 deal on campfire at the Chevron.
That night it continued to rain, but we knew sun was just around the corner.
