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 based across the Columbia River in Hood River, Oregon.
\nNot to change the basic philosophy of living in the middle of nowhere and seeing if we can get internet service and cell phone coverage, here is the driveway to the new WatermanAtWork headquarters:<\/p>\n

\"Driveway\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s no television or hard wired telephone service, but the view from the back porch isn’t too bad:<\/p>\n

\"Mt.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you get out of the orchard and mini forest in the front yard, this is what it looks like:<\/p>\n

\"View<\/a><\/p>\n

Right out the door and down the road is a terrific bike trail. The Twin Tunnels(Old Columbia River Highway) trail<\/a>, is a great place to ride a bike. No cars and great scenery. <\/p>\n

\"Twin<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Twin<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Twin<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are a serious biker, at the Mosier end of the trail, take Mosier Creek Road or Carrol Road for some hill work, or continue east down State Road, up Seven Mile Hill, down into The Dalles and back on old Highway 30 for a complete workout.
\nIf you want to go for a bike ride in the Hood River area but without the crowd, try Eastside Road to Fir Mountain. You will ride through the heart of the Hood River Valley fruit orchards, then head up the road to Fir Mountain.<\/p>\n

\"Fruit<\/a><\/p>\n

The climb up Fir Mountain is steep. You will think you are in the Dolomites in Italy during the Giro d Italia.<\/p>\n

\"Fir<\/a><\/p>\n

Views are awesome.<\/p>\n

\"Fir<\/a><\/p>\n

Not much traffic.<\/p>\n

\"Fir<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of traffic, when you ride on these county roads, ride like you know what you are doing. Ride single file so cars and trucks can pass. If you need to ride four abreast, stick to the Twin Tunnels Trail where there aren’t any vehicles.
\nLooks like we might be able to get into one of the high country lakes for some trout fishing next week. Nothing is for sure, most of the lakes will be snowed in for another month, but we’ll give it a shot if possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
