Milo McIver Disc Golf and Mason

While I was dating Brad, he got me interested in Disc Golf.  Exactly what it sounds like, you throw a Frisbee at a goal.  If you wanted to be PC, a disc at a pin.  Brad and a bunch of his friends had planned this epic weekend at Milo McIver State Park in Oregon.  I was invited but I couldn't spend the night because I had to work in the morning.

I drove down the day before.

We got up, got everything packed into our cars, I had to follow his Jeep over to Estacada because I had to leave that night, and took off.  We didn't encounter any traffic on the way over.  We got onto the Sunset Hwy onto I-5, then the 205 and got off at Clackamas onto the 224 and then to Springwater, which took us right to the park.

I didn't realize it at the time but we had to pay to get in and he didn't let me know before hand.  He had the exact amount in his Jeep for his vehicle and I barely had enough in my car to get in.  It must have been a sign.  I was suppose to go have a good time at Milo.

We got in and drove to our campsite area.  First, we pulled over along the side of the road and took in the awesome view of Mount Hood with the Clakamas River down below.

Just then I got a phone call from someone in the place of Megan.  She introduced herself and told me I was on a list of people to call when Megan had her baby.  He, Mason, was born about an  hour ago and he was healthy.  I told her to tell Megan and Matt congrats.  She said thank you and that she would.  She had  a bunch more phone calls to make.

We arrived and met everyone in the parking lot down by the disc golf course.  We saw that a bunch of Civil War soldiers were going to reenact the war nearby.  Luckily they weren't going to be in our way and we won't be in theirs.  We played the 18-hole course.  Joel brought his video camera and Steve took pictures.  I almost got a hole in one.

We drove to our campsite and everyone put up their tents.

I did a little putting in the pin someone brought and set up in camp.  We all piled into Steve's car and drove out to Estacada in search of some food and beer.  We found a little hole in the wall place called Fearless Brewing--Brewed from the magical waters of the Clackamas River.

We all found a place to sit and ordered food and beer.  I got a burger and a soda.  I had a long drive ahead of me in a little bit so I opted not to have beer even though I wanted to try some of their selection.  We talked about an array of stuff including Aaron's thoughts on the Techno Viking...a youtube sensation.  (http://youtu.be/wv6hz6NCL5M)  After food, we drove to the Timber Park Disc Golf course just to check it out.  It was getting dark so we headed back to the campground.

We hung out, listened to music and did some crazy trick putting.  It was about 9 p.m. and it was time to drive the 2.5 hours home.  Since there wasn't any traffic it didn't take as long.  I rolled into my driveway about 11:30.  I took a shower and got ready for work the next day.
