For the 2015 Summer Solstice, [[Brandon]], [[Shelley]], [[Sequoia]], [[Ren]], and [[Ben]] took a short camping trip to Maryhill, Washington, a tiny town on the Columbia Gorge with a nice campground and great views. In addition to the Gorge itself and Mt. Hood to the west, there are wind turbines on the hills to the north, as well as a nearby Stonehenge replica where we performed our [[Drumming the Eons]] ritual (a little ways away so as not to disturb the other visitors to the site, which was built as a war memorial).
We also did a [[YayLifeTri]]:
* Shelley swam back and forth in the river while Brandon and the boys splashed around.
* We walked back to the campsite.
* Sequoia and Ren biked back and forth to a nearby picnic shelter seven times.
