Snow & Gorge Pics

I did a the loop around Mt Hood today, but I think I overdid it... I'm sooooo exhausted now.

I had an issue with camera batteries today. I use rechargable lithium batteries. Yesterday I recharged the batteries from Monday's excursion. I'm sure that being up at Timberline for 30 minutes had something to do with the batteries losing their charge so quickly. I got rechargable batteries in Cascade Locks, but when I went to take a photo at Horsetail Falls my camera said "Charge Batteries" and then shut down. I was flabergasted. I just bought new batteries. Then I got to thinking that maybe the battery that was dying was the 3V watch battery. So I went out to Gresham, got a new watch battery, put it in, same result. So now I'm thinking the rechargable batteries I bought today weren't charged! Luckily I had a Garmin device with me, only with 3 AAs, so I put those three in and one of the old AAs in the camera, and finally it worked.

On to the photos:
