This weekend we finished walking the 30+ mile Wildwood Trail through Portland's Forest Park and enjoyed a lovely harvest dinner/squash party at Emily's house. Click here for hiking photos. Day 1, we walked 18 miles from Newberry Road to Fire Lane 3, then returned to Fire Lane 3 on Day 2, walking the final 14 miles to the Washington Park Veteran's Memorial/Zoo. Thankfully, the days were not consecutive, but two weeks apart.
Here are photos from the harvest dinner Emily and Coleman hosted, which featured squash lovingly grown by Emily and served many ways, all delicious.
For our off weekend in between hiking the Wildwood Trail, we visited Ashland, Oregon, to see Drew and Grace in their new home. Photos from Ashland. We hiked around Lithia Park and Mount Ashland, saw the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's production of The Merry Wives of Windsor, and got to see the campus of Southern Oregon University where Drew and Grace will soon start their accelerated nursing program.
Meanwhile up north, Jake got to do some volunteer beekeeping to cap off the summer, enjoyed some time with Elise's family and hosted Emily for a visit. Click here for photos.
