Recent Adventures

We've been so busy here at Wayward Princess that we've not had time to share our thoughts and adventures.

Last weekend we spent some quality time in Bend on the Ale Trail.  This is a collection of 9 breweries in Bend (plus 1 in Sisters).  There is a neato lil' iPhone app that has them all mapped, info on each one and you can "check in" at each site.  Once you've "checked in" at each site you can go to the Bend Visitors' Center and collect a free Silipint - a silicone pint glass.  We had only part of one day and we did our darndest to visit all nine breweries but only managed to knock five off the list.  In those five breweries we managed to taste 21 different beers so I think we did an admirable job.  We'll have to go back and visit the other four and collect our Silipints.

The tunnel part of Tunnel Falls

The weekend before was full of more physical achievements.  Saturday was a 70ish mile ride to Multnomah Falls with Labor Day a 12 mile hike at Eagle Creek to Tunnel Falls.  I don't really need to say much more than the pictures tell you!

Multnomah Falls!

Up next...  100-mile century on Saturday in Seattle!  Ride Around the Sound where you ride...  around... you guessed it, the Puget Sound!  They say you have a view of the sound more than 50% of the ride and it is supposedly chock full o' scenic-ness.  It is also a benefit for the American Lung Association and we've raised about $1,000.  I promise photos and tales of that adventure.
