NorthWest Travels - 3



-7/6/09-

Today I woke up around 9 and packed up my stuff, and then went outside to thin some apple trees. Well, I only thinned out one apple tree because it takes quite awhile. When I was done there was a few hundred apples on the ground, and onlyl about 100 on the tree.

After a light lunch we packed up the cars and started our journey to NewPort. Me and Bailey drove in the big van with Todd, which was the lead vehicle. About 2 hours into the journey we stopped at a renowned favorite river for a swim.

It was a beautiful area and a beautiful COLD river. I actually entered the water by jumping off a 15 foot ledge to reduce my shock. I didnt feel cold while swimming but my body was not able to withstand the amount of heat loss for very long. It quickly became very difficult to make my arms through the water and I was quickly having a challenge just staying afloat.

After another few hours of driving we arrived in NewPort, and even though it is still very dark, I can tell it is very beautiful here. I will make sure to take plenty of pictures of the coast. Also, I must mention that the house is a work of art.
