West Coast Adventures


Downtown Portland

Portland's MINI dealership

Ah, if it worked this well everywhere

Mount Hood

Mount Hood closer

I am a little behind the times in getting to this but as Chris mentioned, we went out west for Steve's defense a couple of weeks ago. I left a few days early and spent some time visiting friends in the urban planning mecca that is Portland. A very vibrant city indeed - no shortage of excellent microbrews. I also took a day trip to Mount Hood and completed the Paradise Loop trail from Timberline Lodge. After being mostly cloudy for the whole day, the weather broke and I got some great views of the peak. And yes, alpine meadow flowers are as beautiful as the hiking magazines tout them to be...


We also spent some time enjoying SoCal baseball, watching the Angels defeat the Blue Jays 2-1.
