Loved the coast. But my first love was the Columbia River Gorge. Some of those hiking trails were sweet, my favorite probably being Eagle Creek. Mostly day hikes except once. I loved my 29 years in Oregon. If the virus and the political situation ever get back to what we used to take for granted as normal I'd love to go back to visit (and if Linda is in better health of course, a big if). Hope you have a nice weekend Mr. Jim. Hank

@jesfactsmon My son and I backpacked out of the gorge going south - this was more than 30 years ago and pre-neuropathy. We got rained out. I put as much as I could in the tent with us, only to find that what we left outside was drier than inside. Now he goes camping with their daughter who's about the same age as he was, but they camp in a huge fifth wheel.
I know that everyone says "Exercise", but when every step means more pain, it's hard to get motivated to start jogging. I think that the amount of work I do at home, and the number of steps I take to do the work, probably qualifies as exercise. I still have some painting and gardening and deck staining on my to do list, along with building a railing for the front steps that can be easily removed if need be, getting the tractor running, digging thistle in the pasture, whack back the weeds that are encroaching on the driveway (driveway is a quarter mile long), and, well, you get the picture. Right now I need to sleep so I can get something crossed off the list tomorrow.
