On Labor Day, we set out for Hood River. But an emergency announcement on the radio told us that the highway was closed due to "police activity." So we had to re-route ourselves. After much bickering (I am directionally challenged, and can't read a map - not even an iPhone map - to save my life. This drives RWF absolutely freaking CRAZY.), we wound up at a place in the Southeast called Powell's Butte, a 608 acre nature preserve. These snaps were taken there.
Monday night, we remembered to Google the "police activity" that had closed a long stretch of the highway: a gunman was on the highway, shooting at cars. The gunman was eventually killed by the police after a stand-off. (ACK!)
This day was a sad day. It was the first time we had taken off on a walk without Priscilla in tow. She has been ill, and is not able to join us on walks anymore.
