I am a hiker, a rafter, a reader, a racquetball player, a teacher, and most importantly, a member of the Jeffrey/Thompson family. I'm fortunate enough to live on the Columbia River, teach at Portland Community College, and travel to far away places. Although I am from Texas, and love the Texas people, the beauty of the Northwest captivated me from the moment I arrived in Oregon. I have always been passionate about the wilderness and the secrets it quietly releases. As a result, I have hauled my friends and family from one adventure to another. In addition, a couple of years ago, I rafted the Colorado River and experienced the marvels of the Grand Canyon. There, I watched the sunrise unfold in ripples on the canyon walls before it slowly decended and danced on the waters edge a vertical mile from the top of the canyon. Now I have an opportunity to see a sunrise touch the high peaks of the world - the Himalayas. Thanks to all of you who have encouraged me to make that journey, and welcome to my blog.
