Sightseeing

Dean and Tom arrived a few days early and decided to check out what makes the top of the mountain so white.

It's snow, snow, beatutiful snow and this is the middle of August!

Dean and Tom try their feet on skis.

Meanwhile Peter, Joy, and Richard check out the opposite end of the race route.

Those rocks in the ocean are called the "needles" and the "haystack".

As more of the team showed up, we decided to explore the Columbia River Gorge. That's Anna and Anne with Richard.

Dean finds a tumbling brook.

Multnomah falls in all its beauty!

That's a long shot up the Gorge from the scenic highway east of Portland.

Anna, Pete, Rich, Gary and Joy hanging out at the Timberline Lodge.
The mighty mountain in all its beauty!
