Crinklys Pacific NW jaunt (5/29-6/20/2021) Day 19 Hiking in the Audubon park and getting to check out Cascade (6/16)

Didnt sleep well (maybe I shouldnt have gone to bed early hahah) so I didnt have much motivation for yoga but I still tried; just didnt finish. Breakfast is delayed in the hostel and so I waited a little and just miss my bus so I have to wait for the next one. Take it a little north and walk over to the trail head to get started. Its a nice and pretty trail with a little witch house along the way. 

Pretty flower

Found the witch house

This witch had a 2 story



Green... very green

View from the mansion


Some of the plants around the area

Found some flowers as I walked around

Another view of many mountains in the distance as I walk down


HELLLLLLL YEAHHHHHH... more khao soi :) be jealous, be very jealous

Tis a good day indeed

Such great beers!!!

Reminds me of Belgium.

Rogue got some options

Ill take 4 haha

Eventually get to the Audubon and do some of the trails around there; one of which was closed but the sign was moved as they were currently working on it and I didnt see it so I get to where the trail is out and have to turn around. Then I go for a walk up the hill through a bunch of windy trails up to see the Pittick mansion. Has a nice garden and an amazing view of the city, especially on a clear day like today; I was able to see Mt hood and other peaks in the distance. Walk down via the road to get back to town and stop at Khao Soi for lunch to get, you guessed it, khao soi and a milk boba tea. As always it was delicious but a little pricey. Go back to the hostel to take a nap after that long hike. Feeling refreshed, walk down to Cascade to meet Nicholle and chat about beers and life and all that jazz while trying many of their delicious beers including some non sour beers, a slushy beer, and many of their sour options; all were amazing. Then walk across the street to rogue to have some dinner and drinks. The food was awesome (got some chowder and the fish and chips) but the beers felt lke they were missing the mark for what I expected from Rogue and what I just had at Cascade. Once I had my fill there, I went to the bus stop and took it back to the hostel so I can get ready for bed.
