A year ago the Eagle Creek Fire was raging through the Columbia River Gorge and Mt Hood National Forest. We were a bit reticent about visiting on this trip and we find it discouraging to look at the extensive fire damage. Parts of our beloved US-30 are closed due to fire damage as are many many hiking trails. But businesses remain and are heartily welcoming the return of the visitors, including Multnomah Falls Lodge. We’ve been here twice before and just had to return for good food, fabulous historic ambiance, the amazing 620 foot waterfall, and to bring some business back to an area that suffered so much devastation a year ago.
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
