Well, it DID NOT happen \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>I am feeling sore. My heart is sore that we didn&#8217;t see Maroon5 perform, I am also having a sore throat. Gosh, I can&#8217;t decide which is more sore &#8211; My heart or my throat. I mean, if it was just an impromptu trip, I won&#8217;t have felt so disappointed. I was looking forward to it for months ( bought tickets in April\/May!) and it was the first ever concert that I requested to watch. Booooo&#8230; well.. Maroon5 suddenly became my favourite after I watched Adam Levine on The Voice.. hahaha..<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, it had been 5 days since the trip to the Gorge and I am still not feeling well. How should I put it? I am feeling as under the weather as the weather \ud83d\ude41 I might see a doctor tomorrow <\/p>\n<p>So why was the concert cancelled? It is due to bad weather. The windy and rainy conditions made it unsafe to perform. Now you know how I caught this nasty flu \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>Before the concert, we stopped by <a href=\"https:\/\/pse.com\/aboutpse\/ToursandRecreation\/WildHorse\/Pages\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Wild Horse Wind &#038; Solar Facility<\/a>. They do offer FREE tours at 10am and 2pm but tours were cancelled because of the bad weather. It was extra windy &#8211; you can&#8217;t even walk in a straight line. The wind speed was 60miles\/h. Yes, I thought I could be blown away<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/windfarm1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/windfarm1.jpg\" alt=\"windfarm1\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/windfarm1.jpg 404w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/windfarm1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/windfarm1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/windfarm1-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I personally thought that it was interesting to go upclose to a wind turbine &#8211; I always saw this on textbooks but never thought that I would go so close to one <\/p>\n<p>We also hiked up to see the Wild Horse Monuments.
