Mt. Hood

This is the view of Mt. Hood from our campsite on Timothy Lake where we were able to kayak even though the wind ccame up and we had a hard time coming back to camp.

After our kayak trip, we drove up to Timberline Lodge. What an interesting place. It was build in the 30's by 500 WPA workers. They built it in 18 months and did everything including the furniture and furnishings. The carving and metal work was incredible. FDR dedicated it in Sept. of 1939. They ski here all year long.
