Went up the Rock of Ages/Devil’s Backbone hike with Marc. No boots were lost this time.
Kyle's velo ride
Kyle and his buddies were riding the backroads of Oregon from South to North over the course of this week. I was invited but I’m lame and couldn’t go, so I told him I’d come over and pick them up. It originally started as me doing the whole ride, then joining up and doing 3 days, then just one day riding, to eventually me just driving to them.
I played sag wagon and drove around trying to take fuzzy pictures of them and deliver ice-cream sandwiches. It was super awesome out and I was supremely jealous of the riding they had, it was fun just to see where they were riding. It for sure has to go on the todo list.

Hood with Mat
Mat and I attempted Hood and fully expected to crush it. I think Wy’east heard our bravado and slapped us down pretty hard. It was probably a combination of sleep deprivation and fumerals but we topped out at just below the hogsback. It was slightly depressing to turn around fairly close to the end, but we were moving too slow and I took Mat’s pack and threw it down the hill to seal the deal. We did get in a few good turns on the icy slopes of the Palmer.
