The Great Columbia River Crossing

Well since Jay does not want to toot our horn I will do it for me and Timmy.
On October 11th Timmy and I did the Great Columbia Crossing.

This is a 10K walk or run across the Astoria Megler Bridge. We started on the Washington side at the rest area at Dismal Nitch. And yes, it was dismal that day. Dismal Nitch is one mile from the start of the bridge and it took us 20 minutes to do our first mile, 23.22 minutes to do our second mile and at mile marker 3 it was 62 minutes we finished just under the 2 hour mark and amazingly enough I only had to carry Timmy about 4 times and I refused to carry him very far so he basically did the whole walk on his own two feet.

I am so proud of him. That’s a long walk for a 3 ½ year old but he did it and got the shirt to show it.
