We spent our spring break in the snow in Sunriver, just outside of Bend and Mt. Bachelor, on the other side of the Cascade Mountains in the desert. How screwed up is that? Though we did get to see the most beautiful full moon ever. Sharon was nice enough to arrange for everything and get everyone together. The weekend was way too short.
Over the Cascades. Douglas Fir switches to Ponderosa Pine and acidic clay soil. 
Driving through the Cascades. We used our "Ohio" winter driving skills. You might know that the reason that Portland gets so much wet weather is that we are caught between the Cascades and the ocean, trapping much of the moisture west of the mountain range. We stay temperate, but wet, while the east of the cascades gets colder, but drier. 
Soaking up our Vitamin D while snowshoeing. Minnie ate my hat bobble. 
A flock of elk. That's what Eric said. Elk on the golf course. 
Pick a snowdrift for lunch!
Funny architect humor. Eric and I were laughing at the what the snow load must be. Hehehehe. Told you it was architect humor.
