Ethan & I went to the North Slope of the White Bluffs today. This was my 2nd Winter Walk for the Cascadians, but he was the only one who showed up on this beautiful day. It was cloudy to the east & overhead as we started out & the sun played with the edge of the clouds as we hiked north along the bluffs. We went as far as the second dune, but as it was lunch time we skirted around the bottom of it to a nice ledge rather than climb to the top. As we ate the sun came out from behind the clouds & it was sunny for the rest of the afternoon. We started back about 2:00 and the lower the sun got, the warmer the light became until it finally gave us a nice sunset. We saw lots of geese & ducks and a bald eagle soaring over the river as well as lots of tracks in the sand, but no 4 legged critters. And beleive it or not, on this sunny, mild day, we had the place to ourselves.
