Gaper_Jeffy Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) I'm cross posting this as this is one of the most hardcore tours I've ever done. Starbucks in Beaverton, Oregon (a Portland suburb) was today's destination. The heinous terrain, frigid temperatures and gawking drivers made this tour a challenge. Braving the shallow snowpack I departed basecamp at 10am: Concerned about avalanche danger a detour to the playground was mandatory: A stash of freshies were spotted in the tennis courts. The angle looked extreme but I went anyway: While the tennis court freshies begged me to stay, I must push on to Starbucks. Dodging large avy debris (which looked like cars) I increase my pace: After extraordinary perseverance, I finally made it: 4-5?"s of snow is outside my apartment and it's still coming down. February 1995 was the last time this much snow was received in the metro area. This is surely a great start to the New Year. Jeff Edited January 2, 2004 by Gaper_Jeffy Quote
sketchfest Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 At least you made it out. The avy danger was too high to even make it out of my backyard. Quote

MtnHigh Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 The parking lot looks like a piss soddened belay station Quote
willstrickland Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Dude, that ain't a playground, that's a terrain park. We know you pulled some phatty rail slides on those park benches and elevated rail thingys, lets see those pics. And no MILF pics from the Starbucks This area looks like it's around 185th near the MAX station? Quote
chelle Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Cool TR and the skiing pics are Hey Will...we were having so much fun horsing around last night at a lil NYE gathering that we missed toasting midnight by a couple minutes. So we stayed up late enough to see 2004 come in up in Anchorage in your honor. Quote
