We’ve been having typical PacNW weather recently; sunny, cloudy, rainy and windy, sometimes all at the same time. Today was sunny, but cool with a stiff SW breeze. A little higher up in the foothills, there were scattered rainstorms. In the photo below the sun is shining in the valley, Mt. Hood is obscured by … Read more
The gray, windy, rainy weather is really hanging on here for the most part. It might be sunny for a bit, raining an hour later and maybe some 25-30 mph wind thrown in. Hit and miss on the bike riding, especially on the wet, muddy trails and too windy for kayak fishing. You can always … Read more
Well, there hasn’t been any blogging going on for a while, but that doesn’t mean that nothing is happening. Quite the contrary. For the past couple years, the WatermanAtWork home base has been in the hills outside of White Salmon, Washington. There has been a bit of a shift and now our operations will be … Read more

It was raining and snowing yesterday and the same is predicted for tomorrow. Today was pretty nice; the absolute definition of “getting out between storms”. I headed over to my old stomping grounds in Mosier, OR and rode from booming downtown Mosier, up and over Seven Mile Hill, down into The Dalles and back along … Read more
Big news around here; two nice days in a row. Been a long time since that happened. Today was a little warmer than yesterday, pretty much a great day. Still a little cool for spring, but perfect for a bike ride. Headed east a bit and rode from the wine country above Lyle, WA on … Read more
