Snow Brings Thousands to Slopes on Mt. Hood Near Government Camp
Saturday, December 26, 2015
Snow brings thousands to the slopes during holiday break with traffic slowdowns from Brightwood to Mt. Hood Meadows. At 3:30 PM today, traffic was bumper to bumper heading East towards three ski areas, Mt. Hood Meadows, Timberline and Ski Bowl plus travelers heading home to Bend and other areas on the East side of the state.
Stand still traffic with bumper to bumper conditions make the drive up and back from skiing challenging today. The best ski conditions we've seen in several years brought the skiers, boarders and snow seekers to Mt. Hood. When the sun went down some drivers took nearly two hours to drive from Mt. Hood Meadows to Welches on fairly clear roads.
There's only one thing to do with this amount of people heading to the mountain and that's to get up early and hit the roads. Ski area parking lots will run out of room and the trip may be in vain if you don't get here bright and early! These conditions could continue through New Years with the amount of snow we have.
Road 20 Wind Damage-Rhododendron Oregon
Thursday, December 10, 2015
Portland is flooding this week but the damage done in a wind storm that blew through the Mt. Hood area in November is still very apparent if you drive up road 20 in the Mt. Hood National Forest. Along Highway 26 near Toll Gate Campground you will see massive firs fallen parallel to Highway 26. It's a wonder no one was killed along this stretch.
I have yet to learn how many Mt Hood National Forest cabins were damaged during this storm. On road 20 there are still power lines down and likely many cabins still without electricity if you can even get to the cabin. Like match sticks, big firs were down left and right. Huge shallow root wads litter the forest. Chain saw dust sprinkles the road and driveways. I didn't attempt some of the side roads as the main road was enough to tell the story.
An army of insurance adjusters were sent to Oregon after this storm and with the pineapple express that came this week they will be lucky to be home by the end of the year.

Planning File ZDO-254 Marijuana Related Land Issues Public Hearings
Monday, October 12, 2015
Clackamas County is having a public hearing for Planning File ZDO-254, Marijuana-Related Land Uses
Planning Commission: Mon, Oct. 26, 2015 at 6:00 PM. , Abernathy Center, 606 15th St. Oregon City,
Board of County Commissioners, Mon. Nov. 23, 2015 9:30 AM. Public Services Bldg. 4th Floor, 2051 Kaen Rd. Oregon City
Residents in the Mt. Hood area received this notice by mail with the following statements to be included in the notice:
Clackamas County has determined that adoption of Planning File ZDO-254 may affect the permissible uses of your property and other properties in the affected zones, and may change the value of your property.
Underneath that statement on the postcard ,this statement follows: However, Clackamas County has not determined that this action will change the value of any property.
Well, whether it will or not, it is certainly implied values of properties could change with these two statements so as a property owner in Clackamas County we all should be paying a lot of attention to what the county is putting out to the public about our property values.
Hood to Coast Friday and Saturday!
Friday, August 28, 2015
It's Friday on the mountain and the van loads of runners are hitting the road with runners from all over the country and world to participate in the 34th Hood To Coast relay race. It starts at Timberline Lodge and ending at Seaside! This world renown race has been one of the biggest mountain events for August and brings a multitude of guests that visit our area. Most locals prefer to stay off Hiway 26 as distracted drivers and runners make for a more dangerous drive for miles.
The race is notorious for slowing down traffic especially in the afternoon. Watch out for runners if you're in the area!
