The diversity of equipment is terrific and allows me to focus on whatever my current goal may be, whether it is cardio, high intensity interval training, working a bag, or lifting free weights. The staff is always willing to provide insight or instruction and the premises are clean and meticulously kept. Every corner of the gym exhibits pride of ownership. I've worked out during all times of day and never found it crowded. In addition, Calhoon's has worked with me to facilitate family guest admission while visiting. Many thanks to Ryan and staff for helping with my fitness journey. It's no wonder this gym has won "Best of the Best" in Walla Walla.

This gym was not like that at all. It has plenty of equipment and a relaxed atmosphere. Plus, I really like that you can purchase a day pass online. Once you submit your information, they send you a code and you use that to enter the gym. You don't have to deal with people and for me that's good. Will definitely go back. Tomorrow.

NO BEGINNING NO END The fairways leading up to the putting greens were manicured so short that you couldn't tell where the fairway ended and the putting green began. That was the first time I've ever played on a course like that. The greens were undulating and kind of crazy, so you need to be very precise with your shots or the ball will roll all the way to the next fairway since there's no rough to stop it. Also, look at the GPS as you approach, one of the holes I completely aimed for the wrong place where I thought the green was. Stay out of the bunkers. They're kind of hard and reddish. I guess it's far away from the beach, no sand. Overall a fun course, we didn't see any wildlife and since we played on a weekday, there weren't that many people ahead or behind of us. NO TREES There aren't any trees here, so there is no shade on this course and you're in the middle of what looks like wheat fields (?), not vineyards, like the name would suggest. The cart has GPS and tells you (and everyone else on the course, with the loud beeping) when you are being naughty and getting too close to the greens or when you are supposed to stay on cart path (par 3). NO BEVERAGE CART! There was no beverage cart when we played, maybe it was too early, but we were hoping the wine cart would come to us at the "Wine Valley Golf Club", but it did not. How are you guys going to make money if you don't sell overpriced drinks from the food cart to the golfers? Recommend: scheduling your wine tasting at Long Shadows after your round of golf since they're both on the same road, about 20 min away from downtown Walla Walla. Or maybe do the wine tasting first lol.

This really is a great place to hike. I like to take one of the trails all the way around the lake…read moreand depending on which trail I take, the hike can be from 3.5 to 5 miles. There are three parking areas. My favorite parking spot is the middle lot, not way out at the gate and not up close to the lake, or rather reservoir. This gives me several options for hiking. If I go around the lake clockwise from this parking lot, I'll be leaving the hill to climb at the end of the hike. If I go counterclockwise around the reservoir, I'll be doing the hilly part first and then the slow climb out at the end of the hike. The hubby prefers to hilly part first; I prefer the hilly part last. I find the long steady climb out becomes monotonous. We try to mix it up. Rarely do we shortcut the hike and walk across the top of the dam on the south end, as the back side is way more fun. Depending on what the weather has been up to, some of the trails can be quite muddy, and of course, in the spring and summer months, there are ticks. I usually encounter only one or two other walkers/hikers/dogs on a trip around the reservoir. Only once have I had to yield to horses. This really is a great place for some fresh air and exercise.

On Sunday, I went for my first mountain bike ride of the season. I had to put the rack on the car, then I had to drive 70-miles to the trail I had in mind, I had to drive past my favorite bar, and also ignore seeing a movie at the Liberty Theater. So, many things were pulling me away from riding....I was so close to bailing, but I didn't. While going for a ride in the Blue Mountains last season, I passed a dirt road which looked totally enticing: dirt, went up, up, up, and was not very far outside of Dayton. A mental I.O.U. was made. It was time to pay up. First off: the weather was EXQUISITE!! It's amazing how much great weather can elevate the soul. The blues, the greens were so vibrant & pulling--they were orgasmic. I couldn't get my bike off the roof and on to it fast enough. I was off. From the words of Chuck D: "Here it is: BAM! And I say God d*mn! This is a dope jam!" This road hits ya from the gates. It goes vertical within feet (I was sweating within seconds). It was tough, my quads were screaming from the get-go. I was in heaven. The views hit you amazing-fast. You can look down on the Touchet River as it cuts through the valley below. You could start seeing the snow-capped Blue Mountains in the background. Now this part of the country is interesting. You're sort of in between two major environments: rolling & treeless palouse hills and a coniferous pine forest. I actually kind of liked not having many trees around--it affords one huge open views. The views WERE amazing! I didn't get to view 'em too much however, cuz my butt was busy in the saddle biking upward. I still stole views. The road is dirt, but there is also gravel (I assume for erosion protection). I tried to avoid the gravel as much as I could **envisioned biting it on these pointy little rocks**. Most of the time, it looks like the road is flanked by farmland/fields, but I couldn't see anything growing--it was mainly green green grass. I should point out, that it seemed like beer cans served as quarter-mile markers....ahhhh, ya gotta love the rednecks. It took me about an hour to climb up to the top of the valley (about a 1300ft climb and 2.5 miles). As I was thinking of turning around, I heard water streaming and an old decrepit farmhouse peaked at me from the pines in the distance (the pine trees start to appear at the top of the hill). This structure was trippy. Ok, sorry to go Star Wars nerd here, but I couldn't help think of a Sand Crawler. I kept thinking envisioning a glowing-eyed Jawa running around and trying to capture my robotic ass! I spent a good 10 minutes at this old barn/silo (great photo ops here for sure). Then it was back to business. Time for a lightning fast descent. I'm an old timer. Back in the day, I would have barreled down the hill with reckless abandon, but my old age and wisdom makes me wane on speed....a little. I made it down in 10 minutes! So amazing. I felt 17 again (sort of). This was a GREAT ride, and I can't wait to come back. It really does pay to ignore the distractions which try to keep you from exercise. Really, it does!
