Good: Our first day in Oregon we hiked to the top of lookout mountain where we could see from the desert to the coast, Mts Hood, Jefferson, Adams, St Helens and the three sisters from an old fire lookout. The weather was perfect, the flowers blooming and the other hikers friendly. There were a few patches of snow lingering in the sunny woods like party guests that passed out in the kitchen and forgot to go home.
Bad: Hood River Oregon. Thanks to an out of date guide book we got the impression that this town was a sardine can of hip awesomeness but apparently the place has been discovered by the decaf turtleneck crowd and is now full of "lifestyle accessory boutiques". I'm not sure what this implies exactly, but if my karma ever needs some flirty pumps to go with its little black dress I guess I'll come back. It's the sort of place that makes me wish I could fart on command.
Ugly: Sunset Inn RV park. A trash covered gravel parking lot behind a run down motel next to a hobo trail to the underpass. We've learned that on the weekend, everywhere within thirty minutes of Portland is full of folks and having a plan in advance of arrival is probably wise.
