Hiking up the Mtn

Today, B and I ventured up to Silver Star to explore the sights (well, it was more exploring for me, he has been there many-a times before) and I have to say, very fun!
Wildlife was everywhere: Bunnies, Quails, Deer, Bears, Bigfoots.. (ok, well maybe some of those are exaggerated but they were all mentioned and all but maybe two of them seen), oh and bugs! Lots of bugs...
It took about an hour to get there, and that was riding with the madman driver, but after I got over my carsickness we started out on the trek.

Talk about a steep climb..
The first stretch was quite the workout, but once you got to the top it leveled out and became quite easy.

Yes, you are seeing that right, there was snow! And yes, he is about to throw that at me >:)

Well worth the walk up the mountainside. Mt Hood from a viewpoint on Silver Star (sadly, we didn't have time to make it to the top). Why is it I always end these things with me wanting to go back to finish?
Maybe I won't this time...
