Riley Rimpoche, We are with you little creature!



Tonight Riley is in a Kitty ICU, battling fluids in his lungs. Good people are keeping close watch as he goes into a difficult journey. It is heart wrenching, but our four legged warrior is tough. He is now in the Great Spirit's pocket. We pray for you, we are with you! We want you back, but go were you must. We are with you. We love you!

Color at the Waterstreet Hotel.



I wish to pause and pray for the People of Japan.

One ocean away, over there; follow the sun
One time away, over there the watch
Stops its heart beat
Momentarily
And begins anew.

Sometime you must contemplate. Stand with "the practice of the wild", give Gary Snyder a moment of your attention and make up your own Koan. Monosyllabic words like rocks making a path.

Wallowas up and up.



After a stormy few days and an unstable snow pack we were finally able to gain the ridge to top. It gave us many vertical feet back to the car, which is far below down the fall line.

Wallowas part two; Joseph


In every state there seems to be a Little Switzerland. If you want the real experience follow this sign 8428 kilometers. However, in the unknown Eastern region of Oregon there is a zone that while not the Alps is very conducive to powder turns. Stay tuned.
