Christams Break



For the Christmas break I spent the first week in Ashland and the second week in Idaho. I left Portland the morning after finishing finals and Just in time to escape the brunt of a crippling snow storm that hit the Portland area. On the 27th My mom and I drove to Idaho. Most of the drive was in the snow but we made it safely. We spent the week in Idaho with family and friends. We played lots of cards, basketball, pond hockey and other games with family. We saw lots of wildlife including bald eagles, antelope, mule deer and rocky mountain elk. On Saturday the 3rd of January I drove back to Portland and My mother flew back to Ashland. I stopped in La Grande to have a short visit with Unlce Harold. On the 4th I went skiing at Mt Hood meadows. The conditions were good and we even found a little left over untracked powder.

I have a video to share with you. My friend Eric Berkner which you may have seen in posts on my blog created a fishing video of 2008 fishing adventures. I am in several scenes of the video and I shot some of the footage. Here is the link to FlyFishNW. It is near the bottom on the right side of the page.

On the school side of things, We are back and in full force. Fortunately we get to go to Bend and stay at Sunriver Resort for the weekend as part of the All Hill ski trip. I am leaving tomorrow afternoon. Unfortunately the mountain has had some sever weather with a recent ice storm that has knocked down some trees and predicted the warm weather will probably keep us off the mountain. We will still have a good time though.
