GeoCaching in Hood River 4

After a stop at Wal-Mart for a pair of shorts, a shirt, and some socks, we kept caching. These were some of the views for the rest of the day.

Actually while on the way to WM, we stopped to take this shot of Mt. Hood.



This picture of Mt. Hood was taken while driving to the 4th and final cache of the day. Darn those power lines for messing up my shot! ;-)




At one point we hiked along a pipeline that was bringing water from a dam to some turbines. I read the historical info and found out that when the dam was completed in 1924, that area was noted as being one of the “most electrified farming areas in America.” Cool. No luck finding that cache since the gate at the end of the 'plank' was locked.




It was an easy ½ mile hike high above Indian Creek to find the last cache of the day. Along the way we saw tons of these tall purple wildflowers.




Was a great day!
