Memorable Mobilia

I love Oregon. I love the Northwest. I love the mountains, and the rivers, and the snow, and the rain, and the sunshine, and the ocean is fabulous. I love driving around this beautiful place, camping, kayaking, skiing and general galavanting is always good too. I am so amazed, every time I visit a new place. The world is truly rad. Yep, I have a very limited travel repertoire, but it's slowly growing.

Ran the McKenzie river today, near Eugene. It's relatively mellow whitewater, but I'm learning lately that I really just enjoy being on the river, outside. The McKenzie is a very green river, tons of trees on the bank, and lots of gorgeous houses. There are not many spots where you can see the highway that runs along the bank, which is always nice. I love roadside rivers where you can forget that you are roadside, very nice.

Today's trip inspired this blog. I feel the need to document my adventures. The world was made to enjoy, God did a fantastic job, and that does not even come close to accuracy. I'm positive that He didn't intend for us to be inside all the time, outside is too much fun. And seriously, you can't really get a sense of His creativity from your living room.

So here's to running around outside, seeing new things, read and running new rivers, getting dirty, movie worthy ski crashes and being more comfortable in a sleeping bag and a tent than I am in my own bed. I hope there will be inspiration, and humor in the next while, and I promise to try to keep updating on a regular basis, because really, there's nothing I will do for fun that wont work for this blog, which is why I created it.

Peace, love & whitewater.
