the infamous wildwood trail
what a remarkable day. i woke up this morning to the loud roar of my landlord's tank [truck]. worse than the Z71 twin cab truck i use to drive. geez. well, he did me a favor. i got up and headed up thurman to 30th where you can enter forest park. the sun was out but i still had to bundle myself up in layers due to the sub-zero conditions ;). last time i hiked this particular section of the trail, i took a right at the stone house. this time around i continued to my left and began to zigzag my way up towards pittock mansion. i walked around to the front of the house and was mesmerized by its spectacular view. i found a spot on a picnic table and just soaked in the sun. all 5 volcanoes were in site. the wind was fierce this morning. i figured if i continue on wildwood trail, i'd make it [somehow] to the rose garden. and in fact, i made the right call. i found a bench again and just sat there. i relished in how quiet it was and how absolutely wonderful it felt to feel the sun on my face. where do i go now? heading downhill toward portland, my hike ended right on burnside & 23rd. perfect, i know how to get home from here. my lunch today was a shrimp and potato burrito from pepino's. yum! i took some great photos. i hope to post them this sunday.to my peeps who want to come visit me: ATL to PDX is right now on sale for $233
