Two Weeks in the Summer

Last 2 weeks... Lyn gets off work at 2, Leave La Grande for Wilsonville, spend night at Gary's house (Lyn's brother), drove to Mcminnville, go to Evergreen Space Museum Water Park, drove to PDX and back for Class Reunion, Drove to Seiad Valley, California, Hike for 120 miles in 5 days (24 miles/day), meet lots of cool “thru-hikers”, turn feet to hamburger, rest for 2 days, get Lyn to call an old friend from high school to drive 40 miles and pick me up (she lives in Medford), take a shower at my host's request! Spend the night talking and watching Olympics, get on Greyhound Bus, sit 2 seats from a guy who talks loudly to himself – he starts talking about hurting people, and he has a gun, which turns out to be a Zippo Lighter which the bus driver takes away, arrive in PDX after 8 hours, get picked up by my dad at the bus station, get to his house, take off my shoes and not put them on for 4 days, watching the Olympics and talking to my dad all day, every day, get picked up by Lyn, drive to Linfield, drop off a bunch of stuff for son Sylvan, visit Grammy, drove to Salem, visited Lyn's old high school friends Mark & Cheryl and Karen (good times guys), went to Lyn's brother's house, spent night, drove to WOU, saw Dale's final concert for his weeklong Jazz camp (Dale got another award, only one I know about at the entire camp), drove to sister Alice's for family get together, stay for 1.5 hours, drive back to La Grande arriving at 1 AM – sleep!
