I had to escape the city and go back up into the mountain area for cooler temperatures. And it wasn't much cooler there either but better than being in the city. Most restaurants were closed in Mount Hood due to the unusually high temperatures. It was 115 degrees F in Portland yesterday. That is 46 in Celsius. Unreal.
It was unbearable in my apartment Saturday during the day and way into the night. I felt like I was trapped inside a hot box with no moving air, I could not see myself suffer in there for two more days and nights. So.....back to Mount Hood.
Had a huckleberry shake at Huckleberry Inn at Government Camp.
Ahhhhhh nature! The sound of the river kept me company throughout the night.
And I brought a book. I have not been reading books at all lately. All my reading is online so it was nice to actually hold a book and turn the pages. I really like this book.....
When Plants Dream by Daniel Pinchbeck and Sophia Rokhlin. I think that I am ready to start exploring plants on a deeper level soon.
