more oregon adventures

                                                    Thursday morning at Mt. Bachelor

The skiing tended to be great in the morning and warmed up steadily throughout the day.  By noon the snow was ankle deep slush, but fun ankle deep slush.

We went running at Smith Rock state park Thursday afternoon.  The river has carved a two hundred foot tall canyon/cliff (depending on how you look at it).  We were really tired, but the ancient spirits of the cliff gave me energy and I hammered the switchbacks.

How does one cook a yam?  Chris and I did not know, so we had a contest.  Above is a barbecued yam (by Isaac) and a mashed yam with brown sugar, nutmeg and butter, and also fried yam skins (by Chris).  It was a tie.
