On Thrusday, we drove up to Mt. Hood. It was crazy to see a bunch of people skiing and snowboarding in late June.
Up on Mount Hood is the timberline lodge. It was built during the Great Depression by the governement to help create jobs

The front door
Since the lodge was built during the depression, they saved money by repurposing used items. For example, the grates in the fireplace were made from used railroad tracks.
The top of the chimney. They also had to hire cheap labor so a lot of the masons were unskilled, but as you looked up the chimney you could see how their craft improved with experience
This mosaic was made from the stained glass scraps from the murals in the Blue Ox Bar
The stair railing posts were carved from used telephone poles.
After the tour, we played on the snow for a little bit.
