9500ft Bivi on Mount Hood

9500ft Bivi on Mount Hood

Comfortably ensconced in our sleeping bags we are. Nestled behind a man made rock wall...like a pile of puppies...we are under the stars...and truly in the village of warmth! =^)

We left the car at around 6000ft and now we are at 9500ft...looking forward to a fine sleep under a just waning full moon. There it sits...blood red in the eastern sky.

We'll be up at sunrise on Sunday for a leisurely walk to the summit. It's about 1750 vertical feet above us. That's about half the vertical gain we achieved today...so it should all be lovely.

I'll see if I can get yet another dispatch uploaded before our morning summit stroll...

Until Soon

Phill =^)
