10/3/2024 Van Trip 2

Today it was another driving day on our way to Mount Hood National Park. Along the way we stopped at this rest area that had a funny sign. The sign said "keep pets out". It seems strange considering was a big beautiful grassy area. Then the sign said "many dogs have fallen to their death". You know I had to carry this Vivien and find out what this was all about. 

We walked across this gigantic grassy area to a cute little picnic area. Well still holding Miss Vivien, I walked over to a wall about 4 ft high. On the other side of the wall is a Gorge that was probably 25 stories down. I guess what has happened is that people will play ball with their dogs and the dogs don't realize there's nothing on the other side of the wall and they jump over and fall to their death. Gory. 

I did not let Ms Vivien near the wall even though there's no way we can jump 4 ft. 

We made it to our campsite and tomorrow we'll go see Mount Hood. 

Until tomorrow...
