Windells
 I always enjoy going back to Mt. Hood. Doesn’t matter if we continue to get older because that place makes you feel like a kid. The kind of kid that doesn’t stop until completely asleep in the back of the car on the way home.
 I spent 2 sessions at Windells Snowboard Camp guest coaching. Though it was as hot as Hood gets, it was also as good as Hood gets. Windells park, pipe and rails were going off. Kids were going hucktastic into the airbag which was fun to watch and do. Windells added more concrete for the skaters and the dirt jumps for bikes were going off. There was even a mtn bike crew building some crazy ladders that I won’t touch.
 In between sessions the surf was going off. The same swell that killed a couple people in southern California was hitting the Oregon coast strong. Short Sands was the best I have ever seen it. A couple other locations were going off and seriously made my summer for me. My wife made it up on the in-between so we went and did a bunch of mtn biking on the way home. On the last night we camped in Bend and a thunderstorm came in hard, Lighting and thunder every 2 seconds. An awesome end to a rad trip!
