A Day on the Columbia

VIDEO #183

Song - "Hip Hop No Pares" by Mexican Institute of Sound

Here it is! The video that peaks the hill and brings it on home to the 365 videos. It's smooth sailing from here on out!

Part two of the epic paddle in the Columbia River Gorge was by far, the best day of Fall. This might have to happen again before the weather turns gray. Good times, though, good times!

OK... are you excited?...... Are you ready??!!!! Today is video 182.0 which means tomorrow is video #183.0. Are you with me???! We are excited because in 1.0 years there are 365.0 days. Split that, and you have 182.5 days. Are we on track yet????? Well, tomorrow will be 183 dangerously great videos with amazingly, fantastic memories which will round out todays in the "first time ever, two parter" that has a "second part finished"... video. Whooooaaaa!

It was a perfect day with great friends surrounding me. It feels great that,... if you were to be so brave and watch the last 181 videos right now, (which might mean you would miss work tomorrow), you would see that there have been very random, but great days, ... everyday in its own way. Whether you're completely obsessed like me and film a part of it or you store a minute here and there in the old memory bank... try and remember each day is open to your agenda... make something fun happen every now and then. It's worth it sometimes:)

Camping at the Lake

Song - "Turn This Boat Around" by Matt and Kim

Here is the last video from the lake trip in the Clatsop Forest. Had a great time and hope to be back very soon. For those who'd like to come out and float the lake, let me know. I'll show you where this little gem is!

A Trip to the Arch

VIDEO #084

Song - "Stir it Up" by Rockabye Baby! (Bob Marley Cover)

Out in Cabo San Lucas, joining the tourists for a cruise around the Arch. We thought we were getting on a relaxing romantic sunset dinner cruise, and in all fairness, it was but what we learned was that after you get to the arch, it's about 45 minutes hanging out in the bay partying down to bad pop music so loud you can't think, tequila shots and male stripping dance-offs. And the thing was, all the boats did this. It was like a competition to see which boat could party harder. Maybe on spring break this works but when you have Montezuma's Revenge and you're on a boat with elderly couples, families and babies crying, it doesn't really make sense to force the concept. Cabo needs to chill.
