This section of trail disappearing into the mists reminded me of a 1950’s campy sci-fi film called the The Crawling Eye where mountain climbers are consumed by a one eyed-golf ball with tentacles lurking on the slopes of a misty mountain.
The summit was enveloped in cloud but there was still a view of that tantalizing sun break to the west.
I looped back via the Augspurger Mtn trail and came across a Multnomah County work crew improving the trail. I don’t think these folks were either employees or volunteers but they were doing good work. Interesting that the county is loaning labor to the USFS(?). By the time I got back to the car the clouds had evaporated and the folks just starting out (there about 8 cars in the parking lot on this Tuesday morning) were doing so in full, warm sunlight. If Ted’s posting about road work on 14 really means long delays this might be my last visit to Dog for this season.
