Timbers Home Opener

The season starts this Sunday, so we are in Portland.

Stopped in Rhododendron to check out a cabin we are all going to stay in for a few days at the end of May.

Located at only 1500 ft elevation, it didn't have any snow but looks like it gets a bit of moisture throughout the year.  The brochure shows it in a winter wonderland.

Total moss roof on a cabin nearby.
Recycling begins before the tree falls.

Neat climbing wall to rope bridge.  Note to Amy, would make a neat bridge between trees in your back yard.

We have tomorrow to play with grand kids then it's game day.  After that Teri goes to LA for a week or so. Supposed to have a storm hit this weekend (rain is a requirement for opening day in Portland) so trip back to Redmond should be interesting.

Hope all goes well for you.

Stay warm.
