Trout Lake and Mount Hood

Once again it would seem age is creeping up on us and this time it was not a blood clot; no, it was unseen and misery - Earl's hands swelling up and arms hurting.  Neither one of us getting a good night sleep due to pain.  It was miserable to the point of cancelling out and heading for home and doctors!  It has been a few years since we had stopped in at Trout Lake and oh my goodness what a wonderful time we had visiting with our good friend Candice!!  She is great!  She took us on another tour of the area and of the cheese factory her son and daughter in law are working on.  She is happy and content and you can't ask for more than that... We loved every minute of our visit with her and it came to a halt all too soon.  Thanks again Candice!!

Leaving Trout Lake is Mt Hood popping up all over the place.  It's so funny to see this mountain peeking out from here and there; just like Mt Rainier.  These mountains are like old friends and its always a joy to see them.  You can see how the snow is really melting on this giant.  There was a time (yes, even in my lifetime - ha) when this mountain was white all year long.. not anymore - same with Mt Rainier.  Never thought I would see the day when there would be so many dry spaces.  We did enjoy our drive through Oregon.  It has been a few years since we were on that route.  This was our 1st trip with just the car and so different then when we traveled with the motorhome.  We did ok but it is a lot of miles and not nearly as enjoyable as stopping and taking our time to visit the little towns and see whatever there may be to see.  It's just different and neither one of us were crazy about it.. oh well.  We did ok and that is what counts.
