Notes From the Road: Not Dead Yet

Notes From the Road: Not Dead Yet June 30, 2016

Up the Columbia River Gorge, through Eastern Oregon and into Eastern Washington, and today across Idaho and Montana–there’s not been one speck of countryside that hasn’t been stunningly gorgeous. Even benighted children have paused mid whine to gape in awe over the landscape.

Got to see an old school friend, seemingly lost to the mists of time, expect that suddenly the mist clears and you pick up talking as if you were still lying back, too hot, along the cool cracks of the concrete floor, waiting for the minutes to pass by into something more  exciting.
