~A little journey-report from this Ramblin' Red Dirt girl~
I kayaked a couple of times in the Salish sea near Samish Island with Dan Duggin and Dean Luce!!, camped for 5 days in the Chuckanut mountain area and hiked some good hikes! had some wonderful concerts in the Bellingham and Bow area of WA state. Met and made some good friends...
Just spent the most wonderful days and evenings...
I drove the amazing Columbia river gorge for the second time this month. Camped near Maryhill... had just spent a weekend with friends at the Tumbleweed festival on friday and then sat-monday with Chuck & Vic Dunlap... and his awesome band above Lake Roosevelt near Creston, WA!
What and amazing place and time.
Thank you to all of you- Nancy Dillon and MJ Bishop, and Chuck and Vic Dunlap, and Leslie Beia and Dean Luce- whose birthday is today!!
