Today I rode my bike from the RV up to Timberline Lodge.  It was 2200 feet of climbing over 7 miles:

Trish and the kids drove up to meet me, and we played in the snow.  We had driven from late Autumn at 3400 feet to early Winter at 5600 feet:

Timberline Lodge was a CCC construction project in the 30s:

The fog began to clear and we could see the summit of Mt. Hood, 6000 feet above us:

We decided to go snow shoeing.  Once we were a bit away from the parking lot, all we could see was the mountain:

Returning to the RV, we were surprised to see that it’s still Autumn down here!
