I wanted to thank Avalance for putting on an outstanding event on the Oregon coast. I don't know how Avalance is connected with the local rain gods, but it seemed the sky only opened up when we were driving, the sun would come out when we stopped. Great connections you go there Avalance.
It was great meeting some new faces from the Seattle/Tacoma/Portland area - and gosh darn it a long drive from Sacramento.
As far as the Oregon coast is concerned, major kudos for being introduced to the jobs of the sand dunes down there. What an experience - 4Lo RULES! Going to plan a major event in February back there on the dunes.
Finally kudos to avalanchegirl for posting the Chief pic. I've lost 35 pounds since July and the pic you posted really shows the incredible shrinking chief. I officially after todays doctors visit have 20 more pounds to go.
