It's FINALLY raining!!! That means I'll be riding the trails FOR SURE tomorrow. No more dustbowl. Woohoo.

Friday we went to BendFilm and watched "Dark Heart". It's about a soldier who returns from Iraq and encounters great hostility at home. A group of guys overhears him talking to a buddy about the gold stashes Saddam had. This group kidnaps him and attempts to coerce him through violence, to tell them where the gold is. It's a very "dark" movie but I enjoyed it still.

Saturday we rode Edison Lava, with a detour up to the top of Kwolh Butte on the way there. So, in the first 8 miles it was around 2300' of climbing. It's sandy and loose in some spots on the way to the Butte, but we'd never been there so we gave it a shot. ATV's have chewed up the trail pretty badly in some places but it was a very pretty ride still.

This is the little Kwolh Butte shelter. It sits out on the point with a great view of the backside of Mt. Bachelor, and then all the various lakes and rings of lava rock that encircle the area.



We went and watched another set of films Saturday night. The short was hilarious...about a man who had to learn to wave at his neighbors and be friendly. The feature was "Modern Love". It was quite possiblty the worst film/movie I've seen. If it wasn't for the fact that I could eat cajun tater tots and drink beer the whole time, I may have walked out. Most people did in the room of 130 seats. Oh well.
