Training for the Portland Marathon is in full swing - including the increasingly longer walks on Saturday. Sometimes we walk around the neighborhood and sometimes we hike.
Last week we did an 8.2 mile round trip hike to Union Creek Falls. It was beautiful. The water was swift and cold, the misquitoes were out (have to remember the bug spray earlier), and we found out what an advantage the Garmin Colorado 400T can be when the trail peters out (mark a way point so that you can get back to a point when you knew where the trail was located).
Additionally, after hiking for several miles, there is a greatly dimished sense of guilt when enjoying a cheeseburger, fries and soda at Phil's Frosty!
