Day 16 - (08/18) Portland, OR ... Day 2

The weather gave us a break today.  It was cloudy most of the day and the temperature reached the mid-70s.

Tim had to work a 12 hour shift at the hospital.  Elizabeth, Anna, Carol & Dick took an outing to Mt. Hood.  The trip was the easiest you can imagine ... from their home, you drive 54 miles (taking two right-hand turns along the way) and you're at the Timberline Lodge entrance.

We stopped at Kenny & Barbara Bagley's ski cabin on the way ...
It's off season, but the gate's open
Elizabeth & Anna ("spider-girl")
There's a full outside kitchen

At Mt. Hood ...
The snow is nearly gone, but they're still skiing
Timberline Lodge
Wildflowers perk up the views
We took the Magic Mile Skyride
At the top of the ride
What a cool way to blow bubbles!
Note:  Anna is wearing sandals


Eric Witchey (cousin, uncle, step-son, etc.) arrived from Salem at around 5pm.  We grilled bratwurst for dinner and talked until late.
