For the 2015 Summer Solstice, [Brandon](/Brandon), [Shelley](/Shelley), [Sequoia](/Sequoia), [Ren](/Ren), and [Ben](/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](/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](/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.
