Lay-off, moving, and Easter
April 9, 2006
Well, it happened. Friday the 8th, I was layed-off at work. Three 0'clock in the afternoon I'm called into the controllers office, he and the operations manager and I. Turns out my boss new nothing of this before hand. After I was called into the office he was told to lock my computer account. That left him wondering what was going on. When I got back to my desk, he was there waiting, and asked me what was going on. He was completely blind sided by this one.

Hi and welcome! What we have here is a simple web site of stuff we are interested in, and willing to share with the world.
For example, we have posted a photo gallery of places we have visited - quite a few national parks, state parks and others.
I have information about online racing, I am in a league called GTR Endurance League. I will be writing reviews of the various tracks, hopefully one a month, or thereabouts. I have something like 120 tracks installed.

This trip started on the Colockum Pass Rd then headed east on Road 14 (Carabou Rd), which becomes Perkins Rd, which comes to a tee with Little Brushy Rd going east and Beacon Rd going south. I took Little Brushy Rd. It eventually comes out at the Columbia River at West Bar. West Bar is across the river from Crescent Bar.

I'm back up and running on a new server. Now I just have to do some work to update this site. I'll be working on that in between transcribing/ arranging music for the band I play in.

2004 Colockum Pass trip
May 6, 2004
My son David and I went out for one night. We took Colockum Pass Rd north to North Fork Rd (Road 10.10), following it east to Tarpiscan Rd (Road 14), which we followed south. Then that becomes Brewton Rd, then Brewton Gulch Rd, and finally Tekison Creek Rd. That put us at West Bar, where we spent the night.
The next day we headed southwest on Brushy Rd (Road 14), which becomes Little Brushy Rd, the Perkins Rd, and finally Carabou Rd. We took Colockum Pass road back into Ellensburg and back home.
The photos are labeled as best as I can recall the locations. They are straight from the camera - no touch-up or enhancing of any kind has been done (which is why many look just a bit washed-out).
