Afternoon trip

[ROX]

Here are some pics I took today on an afternoon trip with my daughter.
Just for fun.

Barlow Trail up near Mt. Hood. It's one of the old wagon trails from way back.

We finally turned around because I thought I'd better not see just how far I could go. I didn't want to have to winch us out of a snowdrift.



















We saw one newborn baby deer. Bambi. I couldn't get a picture.

The snow was deeper in a few places, but I couldn't stop to take pictures.

Yeah! Let me know next time, I am always up for some wheeling.

I heard that the Barlow Road trail was fairly easy, was the snow drifts the most challenging part?

Yes, the drifts were fun, but I just wanted to check campsites.

The trail is a fun drive. The road is easy, but it's beautiful! From Hwy 35 you head south along a creek thru some really old growth timber and meadows. Then it levels out for a while in a place where the forest floor is mostly sand, crosses White River and continues on a Southeasterly course toward Wamic. It's kept open only for licensed vehicles, no motorcycles or atv's allowed. It's a sandy, narrow road so they think that keeping only large vehicles on it will help keep it from eroding too much. At least that's what the forest service guy told me.
