First Friday

Ryan's New Digs

Ryan Bahn Moved to Hood River

Free Lumber

They replaced the planks on the Hood River Pedestrian Bridge and I got
a Subaru full of used lumber for garden beds.

Ryan and I Ski on Mt. Hood

Ryan and I got an early start on our way up Mt. Hood. Skinning up groomed track at 6000ft.


We got out of the groomed and onto the snow field. It was icy, but steep. We abandoned our skins and packed the skis up. Boot grip was enough. Crampons might have felt secure but were not necessary.


Then onto an island of rock.


Illumination Rock was as high as we got. Close to the Hogsback about 9500 ft.


Ready to make some turns. We had waited for the snow to soften, but conditions were still icy and craptacular.

Tomorrow: Windsurfing

Train

 On board the train.

Train Station

 Portland has an elegant train station.
