I love this shot. I’m assuming that’s Mount Hood? I don’t ever remember seeing it from the air like that.

Mt. Hood, killer mtn. Lots of climbers underestimate it.
What I think is cool in that shot are the other volcanoes in the background. The Cascades are a chain of volcanoes, each one spectacular.

Yes, I was just about to say it’s an incredible mountain, and then the ones in the background look almost like clouds from the plane. It was a clear day, very beautiful.

mm, Yeah, I think I read somewhere that over 100 people have died on that mountain. I didn’t realize the Cascades are a chain of volcanoes.
When Liz saw it this morning, she pointed to a spot on the southern part of Mount Hood and said, “That’s where I was.” I think she meant a road trip she took to Oregon when she went up to the Timberline Lodge where part of The Shining was filmed.
ybonesy, which post was it (a while ago now, not your most recent mention of it) where we were talking about The Shining?

My story of Mt. Hood is back in the Mimbres Man, Inc. days…I was in Seattle negotiating a big sale with REI. Since I was in the neighborhood, I drove to Portland to meet a couple of people; a jobber, and a customer. The customer was a guy who ran one of the ski schools at one of the resorts and in the summer he ran mtn bike classes on the trails. He was a crazy Czech named Petr (http://www.speedski.com/racers.htm see number 149), and he held the world’s record on the fast speed attained on regular downhill-type skis. He did it on the slopes of Mt. Hood. Crazy! He said he could teach me how to do it if I came to his speed school in February. Anyway, it was summer and like most of my adventures, I rode my mtn bike on the trails in that area. Nice! I also rolled down one of the ski slopes inside a big foam rubber cylinder, like you would roll a tire down a slope. It was a new ski-slope activity he was trying to start. It was nuts!
I like visiting big volcanoes.

QM: we’ve talked about The Shining in a few places (turns out its one of those books/movies that pertain to a particular time in people’s lives), but I think you’re remembering the comments in Black Dog Calling.
mm: I take it the big rubber foam inner tube activity did not take off as expected–else wouldn’t we see it at summer ski areas all over the country? Seems like a pretty goofy thing to do…but I guess no goofier than riding one’s mountainbike down ski slopes at night in winter, which I know is a favorite mm-pasttime.

Were you with us when we went “ottering” on New Year’s Eve at Sandia Peak? Now that was nuts!

Was I with you??? Did we change the sign from Festival of Arts to Festival o Farts?

You guys are nuts! Oh, yes, ybonesy, Black Dog Calling. It’s amazing how a thread can turn so quickly. Big foam rubber activity at high velocity sounds too adventurous for me. The last time I went down a snowy Minnesota park hill on a silver saucer, I crashed and burned. It took me weeks to recover!
