Simon and The Belly (looks a bit apprehensive, doesn't he?)
Bar-code rock on Mt. Hood
Holey Mt. Hood
Peas in a Pod.
Last weekend we went to Mt. Hood. Our top choices were Astoria and Hood- see, Goonies was filmed in Astoria and parts of The Shining were filmed at Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood. Astoria, however, is quite a drive and Mt. Hood is only an hour or so from Portland so it won.
We took all the back roads- and I was really helpful with telling J where to go at all times.
The drive really was beautiful. I missed the smell and light from those huge forests of pine. And climbing in elevation- what a thrill compared to Wisconsin. (sorry wisconsin)
There will be pictures here shortly. I have to drive to civilization this afternoon in order to upload things. Done! The Governor's Cup Coffee shop is the best. There is a huge machine actually roasting beans next to me and something else smells a bit cinnamon-y, but not too much. Lovely!!
On a brighter note, the septic tank people are coming in about half an hour. Joy!
