It was a cold, crappy, socked in day here in the City. Not so bad east of Hood
River. Got here at about 10:30. By Noon it was half way nice. Blue skies and not
very cold. Saw quite a few eagles this year. Definitely a nice way to spend New
Years day. Would have been a good ride except that the first (and last) 60 miles
would not have been too pleasant.




It's a good thing we've been out here a few times because there was a recent
slide that pretty much blocks this road about half way down. A determined person
could get past it but the scree is VERY loose. The retaining wall would probably
keep you from getting killed but it would still be an uncomfortable slide. Too
unstable for me. This road is 100 years old and has never been maintained so I
suppose it's surprising that it's held up as long as it has.
