Back on the Map

On Nov. 3, 1805, Lewis & Clark spotted a known landmark on the Columbia River -- Mt. Hood. It had been mapped by an American sea captain eight years earlier. Clark wrote:

"A mountain which we suppose to be Mt. Hood is S. 85 E., about 47 miles distant from the mouth of Quicksand River. This mountain is covered with snow and in the range of mountains which we have passed through and is of a conical form, but rugged. After taking dinner at the mouth of this river, we proceeded on."

I proceeded on a 12-mile run on the new trail at Equestrian Park. I was the only runner/hiker/biker on the course. The trail goes for 30 miles. That leaves more for later.

That effort left me a little tired for Cypresse's yoga classes. Some poses that I normally have no difficulty with were nearly impossible. But the good news is the bs was down to 135 this morning and 119 after class so I guess I'm back on the right path.
