Fall in Spokane

I feel like a million bucks this afternoon after spending the morning foot cruising along Spokane's Riverwalk in a new pair of hiking shoes. I bought the shoes last night after walking to a nearby mall in 40 degree weather in my sandles. Even two pairs of socks couldn't hold back the cold.

Today's hike started out in the 30's with a misty rain, but by mid-morning the sun had kicked at the clouds long enough to break through and illuminate some brilliant fall colors. I posted a few pictures you can see by clicking the Photographs link.

Tonight we'll play the first of four shows in a row here, followed by Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver BC. After the Vancouver show we have a 600 mile overnight bus ride to Calgary. We arrive in Calgary on the 23rd which happens to be my 20th wedding anniversary. Angie is going to meet me there and weather permitting we plan to head up to Banff for a quick getaway celebration. ¶ 5:18 PM
