Thrashador Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 I doubt they were Hood River Valley locals. I had just finished a quick tour of the Snowdome and was enjoying a pilsner fueled descent of Cloud Cap Rd. Driving up hours earlier I'd had the pleasure of seeing four deer and one black bear. The deer were pretty pokey early in the morning. The bear, on the other hand, was hauling major ass to somewhere. On the way home I spotted a more curious species: a man and woman mountain biking up the road on a weekend. Rubes or gluttons for insane punishment? Who would want to withstand lungfull after lungfull of seriously thick choss dust? The man, grinning, seemed fairly pleased with himself. The woman, however, looked really pissed. And not at me or the other cars leaving 100 yd. trails of thick, billowing dust. Hey, if you two by chance are reading this try riding the Gumjuwack trail. It's also a pretty stiff uphill and the bonus is that cars don't fit there! Quote
kurthicks Posted July 4, 2003 Posted July 4, 2003 were you up there on Friday the 27th by chance? i have a photo of someone out there... Quote
Thrashador Posted July 4, 2003 Author Posted July 4, 2003 I was up there saturday morning with my pooch. I'd love to see the picture though. Post it perhaps? Happy Independence Day. Now go blow some shit up! I've got a huge watermelon waiting to be carbonized. Quote
bobinc Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 Did you go all the way up to the 'Dome? Did you have skis? Quote
gapertimmy Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 why would someone bring skis on snow dome? thrash, is your dog the one in the pearly gatez picture? if so that is one xtremomountain dog. sierra could hang, but not chubnook Quote
bobinc Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 The Snow Dome I'm talking about is on the north side of the mountain; it's accessed out of Cloud Cap and is about half way up the Sunshine Route. Right now, from my kitchen window, it looks like there is enough snow for some decent turns. Which Snow Dome are you talking about? Quote

Why walk when you can turn?!?! Quote
gapertimmy Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 bobinc, that was my attempt at sarcasm, but i was pretty drunk, not that being drunk makes a differenc as my attempts at humor often go unnoticed.... but i do make myself laugh, and that is all that matters. Quote
bobinc Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 No prob, web-meister. I'll be headin' up there tomorrow, looking for the bear and some creamy corn. Quote
