The weather was still dreadful today. It was in the high 30’s and low 40’s and raining steadily. We are glad we delayed our departure because it is snowing further up Mt. Hood and that’s the way we eventually hope to go.

We were also going to meet one of Peggy’s nephews, who lives in nearby Sandy, for dinner at a place up the road called Pub 26 in Welches. Unfortunately, he had gone over to Lincoln City on the coast yesterday and some seafood that he had there produced a boomerang effect. He called before dinner to tell us he was going to have to punt and so we hung at the trailer and feasted from our abundant stores. Peggy is a wizard in the kitchen.
