The Fruit Loop Trail

    

The Mt Hood scenic byway is known as the fruit loop trail...cherries, plums, nectarines, apricots and Pomegranates just to name a few.  We purchased a couple honey crisp apples from Draper Girls Country Farm.  They had miles of the picking bins (on right); today John's helper picked our Reed Avocados, he had 1 bin LOL.   

 

 This is Mt Hood at 11,249 feet, just across the river you can see Mt Rainier at 14,410, we will be there in the next few days for a comparison photo.  We almost made it to the top but the road ended and there was only a trail.

 

Instead we went to the lavender fields and played purple cornhole.   My husband is doing a terrific job driving us all over the place and making good use of the backup camera he bought before we left.  Now he has it hooked up so that when he is in reverse it automatically comes on.  Just like a new car.

I am blessed.   

 

 

Some of our berries we picked on the side of the road.  Don't see that our ice cream is not organic.  We had face time with the Grand Kids yesterday, just a few more weeks til we see them in Bend, oh and our daughter too.  If you want a souvenir let me know in the comments section:).   XXXOOO
