Mt Hood from the timberline parking lot



Mt. Hood. Less smoke at the higher altitudes. I'm freakin bummed that I can't walk up this path, my knees are so done with me...even with knee braces. Payback. Trail becomes a free-for-all in a few meters. Then you follow the lava flows. and what once was an icefield. Timberline is behind me, and I can't go up the mountain because of my knee injury. What a fucking dilemma. This is out the back side of Timberline Lodge which is a beautiful lodge. But I can only get so excited over a lodge. Neil took off for the afternoon without telling me so I was stuck in the car for hours. Waiting. I was furious. He hitched a ride on a gondola. I could’ve seen the mountain as well, had he bothered to think of me too. At least the air was easier to breathe.
