A proper adventure

I had my lunch packed (pb and j) yesterday with the anticipation that I was going to get an adventure.  I have taken Jerry’s advice and left lots of hiking books around the house in hopes that my roommates would take me hiking.

They decided to take me to Coyote Wall.  To start the hike one must hike on an old road for a 1/2 mile or so.  The road is near the Columbia River so it’s a pretty scenic road.


The weather was great and some of the early wildflowers were out.  This one is of a desert parsley. 

Here I am hanging out with the grass widows.
Mt. Hood was out for the day.  You can see if clearly in this picture.  


I prefer this picture instead (I wonder why???)


We had to cross a stream with a beary small waterfall.  It was about my size which made a good picture for me.  Hmm, a little waterfall I bet Spunky would look good next to it too.





Toward the top of the hike you can enter an old forest.  My roommate thinks these are oak trees but we don’t really know.
 
 As you can see Sequoia came along the hike today.  He is humoring me by posing in this picture, you can see that he really wants to continue his hike.

Hope your weekend adventures were fun.

  2. That looks like a pretty hike you went on. I like your scarf too. Glad to see some flowers blooming after all the snow in US. That mountain is perfect.
