Our family spent an extended weekend in November at a three-story, six-bedroom lodge with a deck that offered this view of Mt. Hood.
Some with sunglasses and some squinting on a beautiful November day. (left to right) Heidi Bunyard, Abbie Walters, Cindy McCracken, Andrew Walters, Mel & Marta McCracken, Ethan McCracken, Juli & Doug Pearson.
Unforced smiles on these three: Ethan McCracken, Juli Pearson, Heidi Bunyard.

Juli and Doug Pearson—each wearing the kind of multipurpose watches that you would expect on people who enjoy outdoor adventures.
If this were a video you would see water flowing down the wall behind Nym and Heidi Bunyard as they stand in the lobby of their downtown Portland apartment complex.
The Oak Ridge Trail located between Hood River and Mt. Hood zigs and zags as it gains elevation. Doug, Ethan, Abbie, Mel, and Marta were the more aggressive hikers waiting (upper right) for the rest of the family. Andrew, Heidi, Juli, and Hugo are followed by Dan and then Cindy who took the photo.
Abbie and Andrew Walters, who live in Florida, were glad they brought their sun glasses to Oregon.
Mel and Marta McCracken—the color-coordinated couple.
Hugo took up residence at the McCracken home in June.
