Multnomah Falls, oregon

Mt Hood, the meadows ski area, 7/24/2010

so we visited rooster rock, vista house, and mt hood in one day. a whirlwind of semi caffeinated activity. It was hot, gorgeous vast skies. we ate pizza while looking off mt hood at timberline i think 4600 feet (there abouts.)

a rescue team had just returned from saving a 40 year old man from Mt hood. this picture was taken at the meadows ski area- closed for summer, from there we headed to timberline. we almost didnt and nearly turned around about 5 times.
glad we didnt.

rooster rock, nr portland oregon

so a rock that is rather phallic and hidden more then i expected behind trees and shrubs.
it's a shy phallus i guess?
rather upright and firm in it's shyness if i do say so.
one should prune it's overgrowth, for display purposes.
i am not volunteering.
the other side of the park contains a nude beach.
and the day we visited (it had reached 101 degrees F) a five year old drowned in the river,
sobering when one has a five year old.
