With the forecast of snow, followed by cold temps and dry/semi-clear weather, I'm thinking Chanticleer Point, Crown Point, Cape Horn, Rowena, and of course iced-up waterfalls, will make great camera targets this weekend. Anyone interested in meeting for sunrise on Saturday and/or Sunday?

Curtis, Peggy is leaving for Honduras on Monday so Saturday might be better for me than Sunday but give me a call if you're out this end of the Gorge. I'm more up for Rowena than the waterfalls.

Count me in perhaps
Posted by Curtis Knight on January 9, 2007 at 6:17 PM
LOL! I love all this non-commital commitment!
I'm leaning toward hitting sunrise Sat. and Sun. and one of those days (most likely Sat), doing the waterfalls, working my way out to rowena for later afternoon/sunset.
I'll keep everyone posted. I want to watch the weather forcast, and make a decision Thursday or Friday. (I sure wish I could take Wed or Thurs off and get picks with the fresh snowfall )
Kevin, I got your email, so I'll call your cell when I solidify my plans.

Curtis, Sat may work also for me. I'll take either day...

I may be heading to Bend & Sisters...but not really sure I want to hit 4 degrees over there...hmmm...I'm sure the roads heading over there will be just fine since the precip ends by thurs...

I wouldn't say I'm entirely non-committal, but keep posting, I'm interested.
Posted by Ned Fenimore on January 10, 2007 at 2:27 PM
I'm pretty sure I'm in... If I don't get permission to take my 4Runner rather than my brand new car, I might see if anyone wants to share gas/truck pool....
I may be interested, let me know what the plan is.

Mark H, how's the snow pack in HR?
Posted by Ned Fenimore on January 11, 2007 at 1:33 PM
Anything decided yet?
Posted by Curtis Knight on January 11, 2007 at 2:07 PM
The consensus seems to be Saturday, but unfortunately Brian and I can't make Sat. So we're going to do Sunday instead. We're going to start with sunrise at Chanticleer Point, and then work our way along the waterfalls and finish the day at Rowena for sunset.
Originally I wanted to do sunrise both days, but Saturday I need to try again to get in a field trip for my photography class. Last week the rain never let up in the coast range so the day was a bust.
Hope to see some of you on Sunday!

We have a few inches of snow here in Hood River right now. It's supposed to stay cold so Rowena will be snow covered come Sunday. The orchards are looking nice with the rows of trees in the snow. I don't have to work tomorrow so I'm planning on wandering around. We're having a birthday party and Peggy's going away party on Sunday night so that's out for me.
I usually have my cell phone with me so give me a call and I'll give you the conditions update. 541-490-8455.

Thanks Mark. I wish I could do Rowena sunrise, but I'm not ambitious enough to get up at 3:00a.m. to get there in time :)
I'll be at Crown point tomorrow morning around 7. Me n my friend are driving to Idaho and will stop by Crown point on the way. Kevin if you are around call me on 503 927 6778.

Anyone with a cell so I can catch up to you? I'm buildin' that fence, you know, so I'd be interested at least hitting Rowena Falls.
