i’d like to have a romanticized story about this hike. i mean, the signs were all there. it was annie creek…and my name is annie. i felt a bond. the creek water was voted the best tasting water in oregon in 2004. in the early 1960’s two general motors executives were kidnapped from their car at the top of annie creek canyon and were murdered. ok…so the last part doesn’t sound romantic…just sad. but…my point is….there was a lot of history on this hike…and here i was…an annie….going to be a part of it. what story would i tell? what special kindred honor would i experience in my journey?

mosquitos. that’s my story. i have nothing special. no one spoke to me. i was bitten…several hundred times. and that’s with mosquito repellent. so…annie creek went by very fast. i ran through some of that journey.
