Fallen Into Knowledge

Okay, so here’s the story so far:

Yesterday evening, I sat basking in the prospects of a free weekend.  I wanted to get away, but I really didn’t want to spend the whole weekend cold.  Since I couldn’t think of anywhere I could go backpacking that would be even remotely warm, I ruled that out.

Then I had an idea:  Perhaps I could make use of my parents’ Worldmark connections.  I IM’ed my mom, to see if I could book a room, anywhere in the NW, for the next night, Friday.  I figured that wherever I could get a room, that’s where I’d go. I could be anywhere between Seattle and Kalamath Falls the next night; what sort of adventure I had would be shaped by where I got a room.

I am in Kalamath Falls.  Today I drove to Bend, had a burger and beer at the Bend brewing company, explored downtown Bend and Drake park while lunch settled, and then headed for the hills above LaPine. Tomorrow I will either spend the day in Ashland, or I will drive back up the coast on 101.  Depending on how I feel in the morning.

Some advenures work best when treated like “choose your own adventure” novels.
