First post of the year! Yesterday (Dec. 31st) I ended the year right, by myself, in the woods, with 4 dogs. Leaving 2013 behind on my terms was important to me, so to say good riddance to the year and an open hello to 2014, I chose Clear Lake, a 4.6 mile loop of a trail about an hour and a half from Eugene. I brought along with me a lunch, hot chocolate, water, some “just in case” items, lots of dog treats, a camera, fond memories of special people, and the wish that we could have more time. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, that’s okay. And if you do, well, you do. Most importantly, riding in the top of my pack there was a special someone who certainly deserves to be carried Princess Cruise-style around this special lake.
Because I was outnumbered by canines, most of the noises I uttered consisted of their names or combinations of their names, and loud “HUPs” (think loud exhale sounding like “up” but with the tone of “come back to me”), but the second most common utterances were phrase to the tune of “uh OREGON” and (pardon my French) “Fuck it’s beautiful” and “Oregon YES”.
Oregon is a beautiful place, here are some pictures from a wonderful day.
