Trillium Lake, Part Deux

What better way to escape a 100% chance of rain than to get into the mountains and stay in a cabin in the woods? Nothing I tell ya. (Although when asked the same question, Rebecca always says the Caribbean)

Our friend Beth put together a trip to a Mt. Hood cabin for the week for 14 people. Then she dragged a keg a mile on a sled for us to drink. What a gal.

Everyone contributed by cooking a meal and bringing plenty of booze, snacks, and dogs to the mix (at one time, 14 people and 7 dogs).

The cabin is a mere mile walk in from the road, but after carrying a 60lb pack each and two bags of food on snowshoes, it was enough for us. We were greeted by a hot meal, cold beer, and good company.

Ways to pass time in the woods for 3 days? Plenty of relaxing, 7 mile cross country skiing trek, snowshoeing, snowball fights, and of course, many rounds of back in the bucket.
