Week 30 - Oregon City -  July 22 to July 28, 202

We celebrated Bev's 46th birthday - How can that be?  We...Dad, Jessica, Whitney, and I took her to breakfast at The Screen Door which is one of her favorite breakfast places.

And... on Sunday we sang to her a dinner "over" another lovely cake made by Warren.  We also sand to Darlo Scott.

Every day this week I walked for 2-3 miles in the woods and I carried a 25- pound pack.  I am training for next weekend's hike to Obsidian when I take Logan for his birthday backpacking trip.

Jack and Zelensky usually come along with me.  Here is Jack on a fallen (leaning) tree trunk.

West Slope and Water Pipe Slope are very "grassy" this year - mostly because I didn't spray herbicide everywhere.  I saw this really pretty yellow bird sitting in a tall cluster of flowers.  I think it was eating seeds.

For months I have been walking by a small Doug fir that has been overgrown by the sild climbing Clematis.  Finally, this week I decided to "free" the tree from the vine.

Can't have a weekly blog without a photo of sleeping cats.

Next week - the Obsidian Limited Entry Area!!!
