On the last day of my Eco Challenge, I spent probably 75% of the day in my favorite place: The Mt. Hood National Forest! Unfortunately while hiking I realized that I had not followed all 7 principles of LNT, which was one of my other challenges, and was unable to finish the challenge with all 3 of my daily actions. Still, it was a great time outside and a great way to celebrate the more successful moments of this challenge.

Today I volunteered with the Mt. Hood Institute to clean our community of Government Camp. We started at 9am and went all the way until noon; the perfect combination of exercise, taking care of the planet, and connecting socially.

Today I went on a 3.5 mile hike in the Mt. Hood National Forest; trying to enjoy as much time as possible in the outdoors moving my body while the weather is still nice!
