well i got kicked out of frenchglen school for lunch hour
so i dashed & danced & pranced upstream another bridge for you
well ok it was for me too
& i gave the maxivan its first real test also
68 miles roundtrip mostly on washboard
to cover a 15 mile crowfly & perhaps a 30 mile fishswim
but what a limpid lunch i drank
& returned early to boot
the local eminence grise steens mountain never looked better in snowcap
truncated by mortarboard ceiling
this 60 mile uplift which feeds the d&b most of its water is a fairly gentle
climb from bridges 6 & 7
but its far side drops abruptly more than a mile
if you can even imagine that
i cant wait to see it but this will be a sidebar to the main chase
in any event we have only 2 more known bridges to hit
& from there it will be a gamble & a scramble up to the headspring
as depicted by usgs
or even beyond if we are lucky enough to get the desired & promised vetter
of course i say we because i trust you are all with me here
as i am on the way to ors
so there is a bp point in here somewhere
sorta
but again anyones guess when the next report will come
