Chehalis Western Trail

This morning we joined a group of Tom and Nanci's neighbors for a ride along the Chehalis Western Trail, which runs very close to their house. We rode 11 miles to the small town of Ranier, where we stopped for coffee before returning. We left shortly after 9 a.m. and returned around noon.

We enjoyed meeting Sandy, Dan and his son Steve, Karen, and Cheryl and sharing this lovely trail. It runs along a former railway right of way, so it's fairly level (which is good, because we are a bit out of shape), but the topography is varied. Along the way we saw lots of trees and wildflowers, which formed lovely vistas, and we crossed the Deschutes River.

We spent some more time adjusting our TV installation, with advice and assistance from Tom. The TV looks much better raised up a bit. Tomorrow we'll go to Home Depot and try to find some trim to finish off the edges of the cabinet.

Nanci had an appointment this morning to get an injection in her back, which we are hoping will help her feel better during our upcoming trip.
