Because the weather was going to be rough, I changed plans and decided to go up to Timberline Lodge on the middle day so I could be doing things, but be out of the weather. I had food on me, but as usual they were able to feed me.
Two things about Timberline Lodge - 1) It was used as the exterior hotel shots in The Shining, but the inside is completely unrelated. 2) It was a WPA project so it's a ski lodge, but also a National Historic Monument. There's a little ranger station on the bottom floor. People can spend time in the lobbies and exhibit areas as long as they don't bring in outside food or try to sleep.
Plan was to work a while in the lobby, have lunch and then do some photography. But, being at a high elevation just after I'd been sick for so long didn't mix well and I left early. So, I didn't really have time for pictures. That did leave me some time before dark to poke around in the woods some more.
