Hiking Beacon Rock

Bruce, Elise, and Denise

Cory, Elise, and Denise

A beautiful view of the Columbia River Gorge.

The trail with lots of switchbacks. For some reason this picture loads sideways every time. Sorry.

At the old Cascade Locks.

White sturgeon at the fish hatchery,

Another view of the gorge.

Hmmm... still sideways.

We hiked to the top of Beacon Rock on Saturday with Bruce. It was the perfect day for hiking. Blue skies, but not too hot.

Another Cool Quote

"The season of the world before us will be like no other in the history of mankind. Just as this is the dispensation of the fullness of times, so it is also the dispensation of the fullness of evil. There is no safety in the world: wealth cannot provide it, enforcement agencies cannot assure it, membership in this church alone cannot bring it. We must come to the temple for light and safety. There are hosts of unseen sentinels watching over and guarding our temples. There will come a period of time when even the elect will lose hope if they do not come to the temples. They will long to bring their children here for safety's sake. The covenants and ordinances will fill us with faith as a living fire. In a day of desolating sickness, scorched earth, barren wastes, sickening plagues, disease, destruction, and death: we as a people will rest in the shade of trees, we will drink from the cooling fountain. We will abide in places of refuge from the storm, we will mount up as on eagle's wings."
