Today instead of going to the gym I decided to hike Cathedral Hills (Outback and Backside loops L,D, and K) . I text a few people and asked if anyone wanted to join me and as usual no one did, everyone is too busy with other stuff. Thats ok though. I packed up some water, my letterboxing stuff (although I forgot a pen and my stamp), my camera and my glock (Hey- a girls gotta protect herself right?)
We got there and started our hike up the K loop and halfway up it I wanted to take a picture and well duh stupid me forgot to put the memory card in my camera which was super lame because I walked through some beautiful manzanita groves along with lots of great wildflowers. Bella was in heaven running around wild and crazy just loving it! I found the first letterbox and thats when I discovered I forgot to bring a pen and my stamp (duh!)
I continued on up K and it was just beautiful, quiet, peaceful, and just plan wonderful :) Bella kept me good company and kept me laughing on my way to find the 2nd letterbox, which I never did find, I think it is MIA. I headed back to the parking lot where letterbox #3 was supposed to be which was MIA for sure and then headed up D trail in search of letterbox #4 (all four were planted by the same people) which that was MIA also! Oh well... It was a great reason to get out anyways and not a huge dissapointment seeing as box #1 was a store bought stamp and so I am sure the other ones were too and those are never as good as the hand carved ones.
On the way back to the car I took my time photographing the wildflowers and breathing in the clean mountain air. Days like this are the reason I love Oregon so much :)
