Tomorrow's walk 
So, I went out this evening and mapped out tomorrow's route. To get an out and back of 21 miles requires me to go from my place in NE Portland to Lake Oswego. Really!
So here's the plan, Stan. I'll hopefully get out there at the crack of dawn. Cross the Broadway Bridge, take Broadway down to Terwilliger, and Terwilliger down to the Lewis & Clark Law School (where the sidewalks mysteriously end). From there I'll take Law School-Lake Oswego bike trail that goes through Tryon Creek State Park. And I'll take that til it ends at Hwy 43 in Lake Oswego.
For whatever reason, Lake Oswego seems really far away. Who knew it was only 10.5 miles away?
The weather for tomorrow: Overcast with rain showers at times. High 62F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 60%.
Who knows what that will mean, really. This evening, we got home from work and it was gorgeous, so I hauled the scooter out of the backyard (which is getting harder and harder as the yard becomes a soupbowl of mud), and then came back in to eat a snack. At one point, I heard a noise outside... and it was pouring. Hopefully I don't have that to look forward to.

Where the sidewalk ends...wasn't that Shel Silverstein? Meantime, isn't it funny when your perspective changes...somewhere that was far by car is now walkable?
