Countdown Wisconsin and other stuff

​Only a few days until the Gypsea and Stanley board Amtrak for the trip to Chicago to begin the Wisconsin Loop adventure.
Meanwhile..
 Hiking around Sisters, Oregon, work parties on Pacific Crest Trail and Mt St Helens, some trail running and a wedding (no, not mine, but a great friend).
  My brother and I spent a few days in Sisters, in the oh so noisy (traffic) City Park.  Great location, but…we started with a short hike around Suttle Lake.  Dunked our feet in the lake to cool off and…oh no! I discovered back at camp that my boots didn’t make it back with me!  So a fast half hour drive with fingers crossed that no one claimed my dirty stinky hiking boots.  Arriving at dark, we found them right where I left them. Disaster averted.
  We did two more hikes, an out/back on Four in One Cone Trail and a mosquito infested loop which included Scott Mountain.  
Ready for Wisconsin!!
