Earlier in the summer, Lisa and I took a trip to Sunriver, Oregon, located near the Cascade range and its numerous volcanoes - Mt Bachelor being the most visible in this shot. We had just finished our run along the Deschuttes River when we hiked the Newman Crater, thus the fabulous running gear! Years ago, probably 1973ish, Mom, Jeff, Mari and I visited this exact spot when we visited the Jacquith clan in Corvallis one summer...
After a long run, we relaxed at the rented "cabin" in Sunriver below, rode bikes, hit the driving range and generally decompressed from the Helvetia. All this over the 4th of July weekend. It was from here that I posted the blog on the LA Times accepting my Neo Declaration for its blog :-)
Being a runner, Lisa has been my muse and inspiration for, among a multitude of shared experiences, Helvetia Half Marathon and now the Portland Marathon! She has a lovely daughter, Emily, who is 12 and loves to bowl. Photos from our bowling extravaganza with Emily, Alex, Rachel and Connor can be found in my June post :-)
Love, Clark
