[OrRando] Hood River Brevet

[Susan France]

A couple of us will be at Memaloose SP. You are lulled to sleep with the
sound of trains and wind. Actually the sound isn't all that bad here and you
cannot escape the sound of trains when camping in the Gorge. I also like to
go up into Gifford-Pinochet to pick Huckleberries at this time of the year.

I have 2 short permanents in this area. Bingen-Maryhill (104km) and
Lyle-Goldendale (113km). I'll plan to do one of them on Sunday. If you're
interested in joining me let me know. I'm leaning towards Lyle-Goldendale
but could be convince to change my mind.

Susan.
