Two hundred years ago today the Lewis & Clark Expedition was nearing the Pacific Ocean. They camped near Rooster Rock on the Columbia River near today's Portland, Ore. Dad & I visited this site in June 2003. That was 28 months ago ironically that's the same length of the L&C round trip.
This was the first place I really felt a connection with the Corp of Discovery looking out on the Columbia River (see 2nd photo at left) and imagining Lewis & Clark paddling their canoes toward the ocean 200 yrs ago.
Back in 2005, my blood sugar has been a little high lately but I think the Halloween witches and goblins are to blame for that. I'm having my quarterly blood test tomorrow and I don't think the results are going to be that great, but you gotta take the bitter with the sweet.
No race on the slate this weekend but I think I'm going to check out the new trail at Equestrian Park.
