Adventures of Pocket Ninja (APN)

Here I am at 6:15 in the AM.  The path of of a Pocket Ninja is long and hard; full of challenge and something lint screws up the plan.    CIMG0052
 To embark long journey, I needed a hearty meal, which was purchased in Pendleton, Or.CIMG0054 It came time to fuel my mule, aka a Chevy Malibu.  Did you know Oregon has one of the dumbest laws I’ve ever heard of?! You aren’t allowed to pump your own gas!!  Seriously! The young woman stopped me in my tracks and I said, “I have to pump your gas.” My response - “Ninja what?!”    
CIMG0056  I made a QUICK stop in Hermiston, OR to view this house.  Why, you ask, well young Tash lived in that house once upon time, many, many years ago.  And from what she says it looks totally different now.

Look, Mt. Hood! 
CIMG0058 Next stop Multnomah Falls, a two-step waterfall along the Colombia River Gorge.

  I didn’t think I had to worry about vampires this far south, but hark one snuck up on me in full sunlight.  I need to hone my ninja skills!

He was being escorted by a group of enthusiastic twihards from Japan.

We finally made it to Portland and decided it wasn’t the scenic town we were looking for,  so we left and end up in Tilamook.  Yes, the same Tilamook as the famed Tilamook Cheese.  So you can guess what that means…Lovely cow smell.  
Tilamook and more adventures to follow tomorrow.

My husband, kids, and I have traveled that Oregon trek you are taking. We have spent many days in Tillamook--I hope you enjoy your adventures. I did not know you lived in Hermiston. That is where my husband grew up until his junior year of high school...crazy. :)

Yes the house looks much different....I wish I could have seen the backyard....I spent many hours building stairs up the hill which was half of the backyard. The landscaping now looks great. Sounds as though ninja is experiencing a fun time and the falls are beautiful. Looking forward to more adventures.
