It is windy. 35 mph gusts aren’t in the least bit notable. The chairs and table will probably be fine, the canopy might not be- certainly plan to sand bag it and know you could end up with a ripped top. Hazards of the gorge.

Reply to Coffee roasters with 5 pound bags by krackenmyacken
You can get Portland roasting at Costco and it’s like $10/lb that way, but it’s not as fresh. It’s $85 for a 5lb bag from their inner SE roastery. Great coffee though.

I still remember a tree my dad had growing up that I helped cut and chip after it came down. I was probably 7 or 8. One of the only times I saw him cry when I was a kid. It made a huge impression on me, and I’ll remember his tree forever.

Rest in peace, sweet old tree. Thank you for the years of shade and adventure!

Ha I saw a chunk of manufactured home blow off a truck in the gorge just yesterday! Story checks out.
