Backpacking in the Gorge

Alright, here we go! I almost feel like this is to big of a deal to just jump in and start typing...you know, the start of a blog, that's a big deal! We really hope to use this as tool to communicate w/ family & friends both now and when we will be in Africa. My hope is that people will be interested and leave comments and stuff...we'll see how it goes!

So over July 4th Faye & I took a little 2 night, 3 day backpacking to Nick Eaton Ridge via Herman Creek Campground near Cascade Locks, Columbia River Gorge (Oregon is a beautiful place to be :) Check out our sweet pics by clicking the picture. Also, click HERE for a video!

And then on our way home, we stopped by this po-dunk ice cream shop w/ a giant penquin & ice cream cone sign and got the biggest, best soft serve ever! Then we finished the evening listening to the sweet melody of Alison Krauss at Edgefield.

Hey Rick and Faye,
I'm so glad that you are doing this. I'll definately keep up with you this way. McKenna also has a blogspot that documents her summer in Germany this year. You should check it out (www.mckennameyer.blogspot.com)
Have a great time in Tahoe!

Dear Rick and Faye,

We have received and read your letter and would very much like to support your vision in Uganda over this next 12 months. We've signed up to do online and will look forward to keeping up with you through this blog.
You two are so cute and we are excited for you and this upcoming experience. Your marriage will truely be challenged and blessed during the course of this next year. You will have lots of good stories to share with your family, friends, and children some day. Maybe you can come and share a story or two at a future "marriage in God's image" class, we would love that.

Abundant Blessings,
Kristina, Don & Lisbeth Rhodes
