Mt.Hood






One of my favorite things to do as a Oregonian is to investigate the little lost areas of Oregon like, Lost Lake. As a birthday request we camped on Lost Lake and enjoyed some endless sun on a quiet lake reflecting the icy glaciers of the North peak of Hood. It's almost unreal that in just two hours we can be here, in a quiet, remote land, where the standing trees here were mostly born in the 1,600's! I actually counted an old growth tree that was cut down to be 450 years old! As people here on the North American Continent, we are young and new. The contrast to what was and what is, is well, inspiring. This is such a remarkable place to spend time thinking about time. We did some kayaking and spent time with the great Mt. Hood waterbound.
