My wife Michelle rides home from work while I pedal alonside with one hand on the handlebar the other on the camera. With the “terror tax” we pay each time we fill our tanks more of us should pedal more often.

Harscheisen were a huge help yesterday. When the snow is too hard for skinning and the slope neither steep nor hard enough for cramponing harscheisen, or ski crampons, are the ticket.
The wind howled consistently all morning keeping the snow hard and dry despite the sun. Blake and I were on a schedule and had to be back in Portland by 1:30pm and skiing to the car by 11am.
A fine surprise after a so so morning of skiing was a free coffee at Mountain High Espresso in Welches.

Veterans For Peace Chapter 72 is constructing a peace park on the eastbank of the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. Our neighbor, Grant E. Remington, is Chapter 72 president. Today I spent a measly 1 1/2 hours tilling soil and busting up dead sod at the future home of the Portland Peace Park.
Next Saturday, April 27, at 9am is the next work party. Come on down with a shovel and pair of gloves. Lunch is provided.

I returned from Battle Abbey late Sunday. Flew from Calgary to Portland via Vancouver. The Air Canada prop plane in Van had issues so we waited a while, disembarked and boarded another. Beats a freeway landing or worse.
More words are to come. For now here are some of my favorite trip photographs:
