We drove 64 miles today on very curvy roads and ended up in Welches which is in the foothills of Mount Hood. The top is covered with snow and the trees are so thick that you can not walk between them. We had dinner tonight at the Timberline Lodge which is 20 miles from Mt Hood Village Park where we are staying. The elevation is 6000 feet and when we came out from dinner, the temp was 40 degrees. During the day at the park, they had a watermelon launch contest. Sure was crazy.

Today was sort of a day of rest. It did not get out of the 60s today. We drove out Route 26 to a little town called Boring Oregon. That was about it. Tomorrow, we hit the road to travel almost 2500 miles to get back to Ohio.
