Saturday means donuts at Sweet Pea

that bliss moment before the 1st bite - writing in the journal

Klich met me at Sweet Pea where we planned our skate mission. Up north we would go to Scapoose and St. Helens. Two parks that I visited on the Whirlwind tour in 2000.

Klich folded in two, but finally got the make/ front blunt to Smith @ St. Helens

After skating the two parks, we crossed the bridge onto Sauvie Island and went In Search Of a downed UFO along the bank of the Willamette River. In Search Of with Leonard Nimoy was one of my favorite shows as a kid. CHiPs, the Fall Guy, Dukes of Hazard, the A-Team, Hardcastle & McCormick, the Equalizer, & Magnum, PI are a few of my other favs from that time period.

first we went north, down river.... saw some rad wood snags

after what seemed like hours, we finally caught a glimpse
