This last weekend, Josh and I hiked The Terraces. Should be in prime shape for ski season coming up. The leaves are amazingly colorful and breathtaking.

We have had an absolutely incredible fall this year. This is my FAVORITE time of year and we have taken full advantage of it. LOTS of hikes and outdoor activities.
The month started off with some sad news, one of my good friends from college passed away recently. Nick Moore was an amazing generous, thoughtful, caring, passionate, fun loving, music loving, welcome you with open arms, politically well read person. He lived next door to my old roommate Courtney and I for two years. We had the pleasure of sharing many many many nights of long talks, walks, figuring out the meaning of life, going to football games, cooking Thanksgiving dinners and dinners in general together. Nick was someone who will always have a place in my heart. We had not been in touch since college, but he will always be remembered for all of the above and those things that have gone unspoken. Nick, may you have inner peace and keep smiling down on us.

Nicks friends, Matt and Troy arranged for a day to honor him. We were challenged to see how miles we could all walk/run in honor of Nick. He would set out most nights with his headphones plugged in and his hands buried deep in his pockets to do some thinking and music listening. He had so many friends spread out all around the country. This was my hike in honor of him and I logged 4 miles for him!

The next weekend we went up for what would be our last Cabin outing. Charles and Diane (father and mother-in-law) were celebrating their anniversary as well. We were greeted with 8 inches of snow and some pre-winter chilly weather. Regardless it made for a very relaxing retreat full of naps, reading, hot tubing, and wine drinking = )

The theme of this fall has been hike, hike, hike and hike some more. The next pictures are all up Millcreek Canyon. One weekend I met up with my long lost friend Keri and we hiked Mt. Aire.

Love love the fall photos. Your tribute to Nick was very touching. I know you and the boys were all very close during your last 2 years in Eugene. Hope all the hiking gets you into the skiing shape you are hoping for because it will be here before you know it. Love to you all
ReplyDeleteSo much fun. I miss Millcreek, Fall leaves, and you!
