mount hood was the next stop on this volcanic tour; as rain and possibly snow was immanent at hood, we decided to recalculate...because, nobody wants to put chains on this bus!
with the new destination of the columbia gorge & the dalles plugged into google maps...we take off! it is a spectacular drive up oregon 97 & 197 north towards the columbia river; about 30 miles short of our destination, at a 6% downhill grade with s curves for the next 5 miles... things start to get woudgie (yes, it's a real word) and a quick glimpse in joeys side mirror shows that the jeep is ready to take the lead on this leg of the trip!
we have ripped 1 side of the bumper off of the jeep...it was terrifying.

we made it safely to the dalles and with a temporary fix in place and new brackets ordered, we are gonna check out this historic place for a few days...
it's a dogs life
