That’s a good story. The wastage is odd alright, and more extensive than is shown here. There are three long rows like this. I’m curious what the story is too.

Wow! I agree with Bruce.
When I was a kid, we weren't allowed to put candles in our jack-o-lanterns because our mother would cook them afterward. We never objected because we all liked pumpkin pie! But Dad was handy and would rig up electric lights to go in them, with an extension cord through a hole he'd cut in the back.

I thought so too. We drove over it after the hike, and I regret not pulling off for a last look.

That's a truly beautiful bridge!

Hey, we started a new journal! Don’t pressure us.

Okay. Now, I'm officially going through Anderson Journal Withdrawal; often known as AJS. It's a serious affliction. Enjoy your well deserved break. And, thanks for sharing Team Anderson's adventures.

Yes, a T Rex do sounds exactly right. I’ll check with the other half to see if she agrees.

Yes! A break would probably feel nice .. but I predict a burst of inspiration in the coming days.

And I hope that you'll share it here.

In the meantime thanks for the impressive dedication and entertainment over the past 3 years.

Can't wait to see you and Rachael next month!

I suggest experimenting with some styling mouse before you decide to go and get anything cut off.

Maybe something spikey?

Now *that* would make a good blog post!

There are a few new trees added to the list of Portland's Heritage Trees. If you go looking for them, Scott, you will certainly have to report on them. One of the new ones I think you have already photographed and shown in a previous journal.

These have been amazing documents, Scott and Rachael. Thanks for taking us along. You definitely deserve a break.

One of two. Well, three. This one has the most character though.

Is this your Almond Croissant place?

I'm with Rachael. Scott will think of another 'Portland Quest' while he's in town. Plus, you're rockin' the hair and burns!

That’s too bad! Hope you get your vaccines soon!
