Today our main "activity" was a hike to Cape Meares Lighthouse near Tillamook. We did merely the possible. The highway getting there was snow covered in its higher elevation stretches. Branches and trees had fallen, and crews were clearing the way. When we got to the turnoff, we discovered a gate across the main access road. We would have to park and hike the half mile down to the lighthouse and then back out again.
The Cape Meares hike was a good challenge considering I am under the weather with a cold and not at peak energy. Tomorrow maybe I will do more.
A person occasionally needs a short break from the grinding routine, the perpetual motion, the endless virtue of Younger Next Year. The main thing is, I will try to stay active enough to send springtime signals to my body to grow and not decay, to get younger in all the ways that matter.
