    My trip to California

    Nope, pretty easy in fact:) If any of you ever go up to Mount Hood in Oregon, make sure to visit the Timberline Lodge. It is a fantastic place, build as a "make work"project during the depression in the 30es, using old builders crafts. Normally americans go to Europe to look at old buildings...
