Well, I seem to have made it back from Portland in one piece, despite the best efforts of deer and fog last night, and Minnesota and Wisconsin and their snow this morning (never, ever am I moving north of here). I have a giant-long, tl;dr recap entry I'm working on, but it's going to take me forever to finish, so in the meantime, have some pretty pictures, mostly of Cape Kiwanda.
Ah, Oregon. So lovely (though I'm not the biggest fan of the almost omni-present damp). I'm definitely going to have to go back, though when I do I'm going to miss my native guides a lot. They were, after all, the entire point of me visiting in the first place, and without them I probably would've found a way to get myself washed out to sea, or fallen off some topography or accidentally been indentured to a food cart or something.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

It was so fun having you out here! And yeah, given that you came in spring, I think the weather was as nice as we could have asked for. If only we'd had time to see the high desert, and the caves, and the canyon, and the obsidian flow... and so on. This state is only just average-sized but there are so many things in it. It's no wonder that for most of my childhood we never even left Oregon when we went on vacations.

I am so very jealous of Oregon right now. I wish I could've stayed longer. Even if you guys did manage to discover a way to kill me, I would not regret it!

WELL there are actually lots of variations but I think the one I heard first is that there was a fire in the meadow, and all the animals ran/flew to get away from it but the mouse wasn't fast enough to run all the way so he found a big fir tree and ran up it and hid in a cone but it was kind of small so his feet and tail stuck out. And when the fire had passed he couldn't wriggle his way back out of the cone, so he's still stuck there. Poor mouse.

THANK YOU, yes, I showed her a Douglas fir cone while we were on the 4T trail and I showed her the mousey tails and I remembered that there was a legend but the only part I could remember was the punchline.
Also. ...That was a good story. ♥

I'm not entirely sure, but I enjoy it anyway. For now, I proclaim it to be a pair of scenes in which they discover a corpse jumping out of their refrigerator and upsetting the tea.
