Strikepoint is now halfway through our whirlwind tour of the Pacific Northwest, enjoying a well-deserved day off! After many hours (and over two thousand miles!) in our newly un-airconditioned bus this last week, we were able to stretch our legs and do some more sightseeing the last few days. We've managed to hike to the top of Multnomah Falls, frolic in the Pacific Ocean, eat our weight in cheese and ice cream at the Tillamook Creamery, visit Stonehenge in the Columbia River Gorge, and drink in the beauty of the International Rose Test Garden in Portland. Whew!
We've also discovered several cool new places to eat and highly recommend: The Pickle Barrel in Bozeman, MT; The Hot Rod Cafe in Post Falls, ID; The Crazy Pepper in Hood River, OR; and the Elephant's Delicatessen in Portland, OR. We also played some highly competitive mini golf in Bismarck, ND.
And we've seen former 'Pointers Monica Belzer and Erik Rau, now both living in Oregon. Former FUMC ringer Ruth Brickell gets the prize for the person who traveled the furthest to a concert - from Thunder Bay, Ontario to Yakima, WA!
So far we are all unscathed - except for the to-be-expected mysterious bruises, of course.
We'll try to keep you posted with more tour updates/highlights/hijinks!
-Elissa and Nancy
