PDXjourns: August 1st & 2nd – Belle City, Belle Weather

In an attempt to quantify the unquantifiable, I will begin to quantify my PDX soujourns, or "PDXjourns," if you please. Here is one such PDXjourn from this past weekend, sarcasm included! Be sure to check out my other PDXjourns on the new PDXjourns page. You will ask: why is the difference between this and the PDXjaunts page? Well, "journs" are escapes from Eugene and "jaunts," well they're my escapades in the around town. Whatever the case, I hope you enjoy. More pics and stats on the jump!
