Day Excursion with the Brookins’
Spent the day with Kim and Andrew visiting the Oregon Garden (Silverton) and Silver Falls State Park.
The Oregon Garden was nice but we all agreed it was a bit over-hyped (and over-priced). Very well-manicured setting but it seemed to lack an explosion of color - maybe our expectations were too high or our timing a little early? Time to move on to see waterfalls at Silver Falls State Park…...........
Silver Falls SP was soooooooooooo crowded! Despite all the people, we decided to hike a 5-mile loop to see waterfalls and pristine scenery! No disappointment there! Got to see several falls along well-maintained trails lined with lush spring greenery!

Memorial Weekend in Portland
Okay, so the work part is done - now for the play part! Wait a minute! I’ve been playing for two days! Let me clarify - it’s PAT’s play time now!
Actually, it turned out to be another day of geocaching for me because Pat was helping Nicole with a yard sale most of the day. I cached and hiked in Portland’s Forest Park. I really like the trails there.
Had dinner with Nicole and Sinclair at Hawthorne Fish House at the end of the day.

Work ‘n’ Play in Portland
Another trip mixing work and play. Pat has a web conference in Portland for the next two days so we brought the trailer to our new favorite RV park - Pheasant Ridge, Wilsonville today.
I have arranged to meet up with a local geocacher and hike/cache in the Marquam Park area tomorrow after dropping off Pat at the the Portland Convention Center. Two whole days for caching! Wheeeeee!
