My brother, Ken, and I got bored yesterday so we
decided we had to come up with something to do. We
grabbed Steve (younger brother) and took off for
Linnton to have lunch at the Lighthouse Inn, where
they serve gigantic burgers - these things are at
least 6 inches across. And really good. We sat in their really cool bar area which is crammed full of antique farming and fishing items, ate our burgers and played some video poker and keno for awhile.
From there we went to Sauvie Island, an large, rural
island in the Columbia River which consists basically
of small farms and a large wildlife refuge. We had
thrown in a couple of metal detectors so we headed to
the local nude ("clothing optional") beach and
searched for coins and stuff. We found lots of bottle
caps but nothing else. It was only about 45 degrees
out so we were basically on our own and there was no
bare skin in sight. Actually, no people for
the most part.
However, we did see thousands and thousands of
Canadian Geese (they winter over on the island),
several swans, a golden eagle, a ton of robins (but
it's not spring yet!?!), a big crowd of crows, several
Great Blue Herons, lots of cormorants, loads of ducks,
a couple of hawks of some kind, llamas, horses,
chickens, dogs, deer tracks, a stuffed Sylvester in a
tree, and an asshole who thought he should go 50 on
the bridge when the speed limit is 20 (10 for trucks).
We were behind a truck when this guy came roaring up
behind us and acted all pissed off that he had to slow
down. Some people's kids.
