After distance nationals in Fairbanks I spent some time in Oregon, a few days in Portland and a day at the coast.   A few pictures below.

After some disastrous races up in Fairbanks it is nice to be thinking about some R + R.  However with the snow situation being so good in northern Maine I may have one more race on my schedule - the final Aroostook Cup in Madawaska, ME this weekend.  The ski club up there just spent some good money on a new lodge and trails.

I must say that Fairbanks in March is a far cry from Fairbanks in October.  The days were long and very sunny.  The races were well organized and the courses were tough.  I forgot to take pictures, so instead here are a  couple from my trip to Oregon:

The Oregon coast is nice.

Who doesn’t love a starfish?  These guys were bigger than they look.

The end of the line for Lewis and Clark.
