In 2006 we visited some beautiful campgrounds near Mt. Hood and finally actually stayed in one for a few nights. It was nestled under huge trees with giant ferns and the bubbling of the creek just behind us. Really nice for sleeping!
Terry wanted a higher spot for his noon Radio Net so we drove up to Timberline Lodge. What a surprise that it was mobbed with snowboarders and skiers! Back in November of 2006 we had hiked on the Pacific Crest Trail through this stream bed that now was still packed with snow and crowded with skiers. I had heard about skiing in July on Mt. Hood, but never imagined we would see the ski frenzy in action!
I wandered around in the Lodge some, walked up to the Pacific Crest Trail and sketched Mt. Hood while Terry was on the radio. As you can see the views are beautiful!
Now see if you can find Terry's truck with antenna- in the back of the swamped parking lot.
We have returned to work at the Lighthouse and the Campground for August and September. It was sad to say good-bye to our July friends, but fun to welcome new hosts, some that we already knew, as
August arrived.
