Sunday we went on a road trip. We did a short hike (a little over a mile round trip) from Horse Tail Falls to Pony Tail Falls. I ate out for the first time in 2 weeks, and it was heaven. Let me provide a description of the best grilled chicken sandwich ever from Everybody's Brewing in White Salmon:
Ciabatta Roll
Grilled Chicken
Roasted Red Peppers
Carmelized onions
Aioli (and I don't like mayo - but this is heaven)
I only ate half the sandwich, but I also had more than 1 serving of sweet potato fries that are actually fried and not baked. It was really yummy... but I estimate between 500 and 600 calories. The most I've eaten in one siting in over 2 weeks too!
We stopped at Cody Orchards and bought Jupider Grapes, which are really the best grapes I've ever eaten. We stopped at Packer too, and while Phil and Kylie got cookies, I resisted. The fact that Marshall was napping so I had to stay in the car helped temptation out a lot.
Anyhow, about 1 hour of exercise each day, and close to a net of 1300 calories both days. A little over on the food, but I can't beat myself up too much.
Weigh in - down a pound to 143. Slow and steady (though I'm always hopeful for bigger losses.)
As with any gorge hike, the 1/2 mile up is a killer work out, but I love this falls because you can walk behind it. There was a crazy guy swimming in the pool this falls feeds too. Even for an overcast and rainy type day, this is a great hike. We haven't done it since 2009, when Kylie rode on Phil's back.
We got some photos of Marko with the kids when we stopped at the Hood River Columbia Waterfront Park too. He's still limping today from the brief walk. Hard to believe that even last year this dog could still hike for 3 miles. He's impossible to direct any more on the leash. He waited in the car while we hiked and ate - so we were glad it was a cooler day.
