MOUNT HOOD VILLAGE

We woke this morning to another overcast day. Seems that there are fires everywhere and the smoke is drifting our way.  We learned that the biggest fires are in British Columbia but there are smaller ones here in Oregon as well.

Our drive today took us along the Columbia River for about 100 miles before we turned onto the scenic route to Mount Hood. There were lots of beautiful pine trees but my pictures were unable to show the true beauty because of the hazy smoke  We couldn't smell any smoke but it looked alot like a fog above us.  Eventually Mount Hood popped out of the trees and the view was incredible.

We are staying tonight at the Mount Hood Village RV Resort. It's a large Thousand Trail/Encore Resort and it's really nice.  Lots of tall pine trees and very rustic, just what Jim wanted.  I've taken a couple of spins around our loop and met several doggies.  Some nice, some not so nice.  Oregon doggies are a little different from L.A. doggies, more aggressive and barky than I'm used to.   I'll try to make friends because we are here for 5 days.

It's over 100 degrees tonight and it's 7:00 PM. Guess we will be listening to the hum of the air conditioner again tonight.
