The Columbia-Snake River System will shut down from The Dalles Dam eastward (upriver) on December 10th of this year. This closure will is scheduled to last for three and a half months, and will allow for some much needed navigation lock maintenance. The company I work for provides barge transportation services on this system. This closure has created a need for us to significantly reduce our operating footprint, and that meant “time off.”At first this was a bit of a shock, but once I calculated I could get by I started thinking about what I might do if I could step out of my “world” and into something totally different for this period of time. The fragments of a plan started gathering in my mind. I wonder if we might just… could we… and then, why not.
2015, Years later–Now looking back at what wrote, “I could step out of my “world” and into something totally different,” you certainly have.
