Christmas Toes

Definition :  "Your big toe will stop being numb by Christmas."

We arrived at Timberline Lodge Last night.  Amazing place...right at the base of Mt. Hood, amazing food, epic breakfast, music festival...no rooms.

Somehow, the first person we met here was the Director of Public Relations.  Jon invited us to stay at his house...uuuh, is this a trick question?  He and his wife cooked us a wonderful spaghetti dinner complete with salad and wine.  Somewhere after hat dinner was a hot shower, laundry and a soft warm bed.  Trail magic is so...well...magical.​

Here are some highlights of our trek from Shelter cove...
