While still recovering from the pina coladas the night before, I wasn't very productive. I took up an offer from Nicole and Brandon to go up to Council Crest Park around dusk. It's over 1000 feet above sea level and is the highest point in the West Hills or Tualatin Mountains that run parallel to the Willamette River in Portland. This huge park is about a mile from where I live. There are even trails that I could hike from my house to get there. It was nice to visit, peaceful. In the middle of the park at the top there is an observation area that has placards to show from which spots it is possible to see Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams, Mount Hood, and Mount Jefferson. I used to go to this softball park in Stockton often to study. Just being outside is much more calming than at a study cubicle. Hopefully, I'll be here enough in the spring to spend some more time at this park.
