I think I know the origin of that onamatopia -yep spell chk didn’t even help me with that one. Some dude wearing a French frock coat with ruffles for cuffs & a white wig on his head on an expedition and his porter carrying his instruments and such remarks at the size of the mountains. The dude says, Tis merely a Big Ass Hill. Bah! This is what I think of when I’m up in the mountains all alone.Climbed a few of them today but the best is yet to come.
As I was just falling asleep I saw a sliver of red the briefest glimpse of what lies between these northwestern cedars and over and beyond this mountain.
Long day but successful one. 6.5 mi outside of Toledo. Found this spot just off hwy20, a disused driveway leading up to a barricaded area.. Should be an interesting nite.
I love these lollipops and I found them in a Hispanic grocer in Canby OR. Coated with chili powder it’s an esquisitely unusual experience that I’m addicted to.I save the last on for my last nite on the mountain and savored every lick! Reminds me if my days as Chef Big Dog.
Made it to hwy 20. 49.3 miles to newport OR. Temp up to 96 tues.
Have no time to tent so I sleep few hrs at a time in places like this grainfield
