Mount Hood: Snow Bank

Mom wanted to see Mount Hood, so we left Roseburg a day early and headed for the Timberline Lodge on the side of the mountain. Before we turned onto the road up the mountain there were banks of snow along the main highway. While driving up the mountain I was sure we would have to turn back. Signs indicated that it was required to carry chains. It rained all the way to the top where we had brunch but no view of Mount Hood. On the way back down I stopped to take a picture of the car next to a snowbank that is at least a foot and a half higher than the car!

Giants Win!

The San Francisco Giants win the world series for the first time since 1954. But as the headline in the local paper said about the Rangers, "It was still a dream season"!
Willie Mays over the shoulder catch 56 years ago in the Giants last World Series win.
