From The Mountains Of Oregon To The Deserts Of Mexico

We just concluded an overnight stay at Timberline Lodge. The lodge was very cozy and the food was INCREDIBLE! Unfortunately, there were thunderstorms so we weren't able to visit the outdoor pool and hot tub.

The storm was fun to watch. First lighting struck close to Mount Hood Meadows (starting a fire...click on picture to the left for better smoke detail.) Later lightning struck on the various tall buttes surrounding the mountain. Firefighters must have had there hands full.

Tomorrow we are off to Mexico to help build houses. We are both a little tired and have spent most of the evening triple checking our packs and gear lists. We really don't know what to expect (although I just bought travel insurance minutes ago and I feel a little better about it now.)

I will try to write everything down while in Tecate so we can share the experience.

No digital cameras though...it would just complicate our mission.
