Oregon 12/2008 Clif - Day 10

Our flight home gets canceled due to the snow storm in the Portland area, so we get an extra day with the Parkers. We decide to head to the mountains and try to make it to Cougar Hot Springs to take the waters, but first, we take on fuel at the Burrito Boy.

Jack gets invited to go with the guys on the condition that he keep quiet and not ask a lot of questions. That's pretty hard for him.

We make it to Cougar Reservoir, and there is lots and lots of snow.

The road past the Dam is not plowed, and the road was not passable.

We met a man who was trying to get his dump truck out. Besides this 4x4 truck with some good lift, he had a backhoe to try to clear the way.

We had to turn back, as it was too much for the Hummer. I don't think the man was able to get his dump truck out either.

Traveling in the mountains in the snow, one always comes across trees across the road.

We came across this neat rig.

And spent some time visiting with him.

Jack gets to play in the snow.

We stop at Belknap Hot Springs and look around.

And get a good view of the McKenzie River.

We make it back to Eugene and make a stop for supplies to take home with us.

We make it to Portland for our rescheduled flights, via Alaska Airlines. Clif and I were not on the same flight. Clif went home via Los Angeles, and I went home via Las Vegas.
