Here are some photos from a few different hikes/other stuff in September... (I guess I'm getting lazy about breaking things up...)

Directions to the trail up Lookout Mountain, east of Mt. Hood -- Neshe and I decided on this one after a few false starts... it's a long story! |
|
Max found a cozy parking space at the end of this road... |
|
|
Finally at the trailhead... |
|
View of Mt. Hood from the aptly named Lookout Mountain |
|
|
A neat dead piece of tree. |
|
Neshe pointing the way home! |
|
|
Now a few pictures from this hike I did by myself a couple weeks later, to Memaloose Lake and South Fork Mountain... |
|
Through old growth forest most of the way... |
|
|
This is Memaloose Lake. |
|
Here's me at the top of South Fork Mountain. |
|
|
You can faintly see the Three Sisters back there... Mt Hood was out in the other direction, but you all have seen enough pictures of that... Adams, St. Helens, and Rainier were also visible from up there, but a little too faint to catch on my digital camera. |
|
This weekend I went out to Mikeanne's place again, for another hike... Here's Jenny measuring her stride length to calibrate her new pedometer! (and you thought _I_ was a hiking nerd!) |
|
|
Me and Jenny at the start of the trail -- she's got her new pedometer and I've got my new altimeter |
|
A lake along the trail... Sadie's first time playing in the water |
|
|
It took a little encouragement... |
|
But she learned to swim! |
|
|
More fun along the trail... |
|
Mikeanne and Jenny |

|
Okay, we just watched "Signs" and wanted to make sure the aliens weren't reading our minds... Don't ask! |
|
I don't think I'll put up the ones from the hot tub, where we were wearing _only_ the hats! :) |
