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
The past couple days have been beautiful, a real break from the record bad spring weather we’ve been having. It’s been sunny, with a bit of a cool breeze, but 60 degrees seems like mid summer in Austin compared to the previous few months. Even though there is a 100 pound killer cougar out there, … Read more
My leg has been a little sore from the Rottweiller bite and the weather has been a bit cold and rainy, but it all came together today. It was the nicest day of the year so far, nearly 70 degrees. Compared to the weather we’ve been having, that is a virtual heat wave. The trails … Read more
Dog Creek Falls is just another place on the side of the road that thousands of people drive by every day without stopping. No cover charge, no entry fee, but you do have to get out of your car and walk a hundred yards or so. Slow down, pull over and have a look.

Not baby lambs, but full sized sheep. One sheep was lying next to the electric fence, it didn’t have any teeth marks or blood on it, … Read more
Today was the warmest, sunny day of 2011 so far, but I didn’t get much of a chance to enjoy it. As I was heading out the front door of my house, the neighbor’s Rotweiller attacked me, without warning, from behind and bit me on the back of my leg. I’m not sure why people … Read more
Finally, a break in the dismal spring weather. We’ve had a few days of mostly sunny, but cool days with a few rain and snow showers sprinkled in. Today was pretty nice and tomorrow is supposed to be the warmest day of the year so far. The trails have been muddy from all the early … Read more
I’ve posted some bike riding videos of some of the classic road rides around the Columbia River Gorge. You can check them out HERE. Hopefully, the videos will inspire you to grab the bike and check out some of these great rides. Bike videos on the WatermanAtWork website.
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
