Living life with less baggage!

Just a Short Walk

Lunch
Many of our restaurants offer curbside pickup, so we grabbed sandwiches on our way out.

Twenty minutes into our hike, we stepped off the trail and settled into a lunch spot with a view of Mt. Ashland.  Day 45 of isolation for us also happened to be Reg’s birthday, so we celebrated with a hike along a short section of the iconic Pacific Crest Trail.

Our turnaround spot was the Hobart Bluff viewpoint, a destination we thought was just over two miles from our starting point.  Four miles later, after climbing steadily uphill and dodging a few patches of snow, we arrived.  A much longer walk than we intended, but well worth it!

Regardless of the cloudy haze, the view from the point was astounding.

    Reg and Sue….

    What a great way to break your isolation!

    Reg, it looks like you went for the Big haircut! I like it! Debbie did mine earlier this week – I think she did a good job, but not as radical as yours.

    By the way….. Last week I heard from the OHRA Bookkeeper that you two made a very significant donation. THANK YOU! As you know serving those who live in poverty is a double challenge in the middle of a pandemic. I’ve attached a brief update which the OHRA Board received on Tuesday of this week. (This is not a “public report” so please don’t forward … however we do communicate all this info to new media and other interested parties as requested). If you’ve got any questions please let me know.

    Oh, and Happy Birthday, Reg!

    Ken

      I’ll take your comment as a compliment to my barber skills! A little shorter than Reg was expecting, but no bald spots!
      As for the donation…we were simply paying it forward and were happy to do so!

    Happy Birthday Reg! We just drove up to Lake of the Woods and walked along the lake for a bit with Molly. It was crisp, clear, and beautiful! So happy to get out! Hugs, Jackie

      Ohhh…trillium. I didn’t know what there were, but all of a sudden they are everywhere! Saw some really pretty purple ones on a hillside, but couldn’t photograph.

    Happy Birthday young man. And of course Happy Trails. I don’t think I’ll ever do the whole PCT but have been on parts of it. In fact most people believe the JMT is the most beautiful part and I feel fortunate to have seen that. Love following along on your travels.

      Yes, it was a treat to escape, if just for a few hours. The spectacular the view was a surprise!
