"Ever Wild" Book Lecture
Presented by Darryl Lloyd,
author.
Photographer
and author Darryl Lloyd shares
his adventures, stories and
personal views of Washington’s
Mount Adams.  Lloyd
is the author of “Ever Wild: A
Lifetime on Mount Adams,”
which chronicles through
photography and stories his
seven decades on the mountain.
He is considered the foremost
authority on the Northern
Cascade peak. His book mixes
adventure memoir with human
history, geography, geology,
botany, and a vital call for
protection.
Growing up on a ranch at the
mountain’s base, Lloyd devoted
his life to learning the
mountain, observing the ebb
and flow of its glaciers,
photographing the play of
light, wandering lush meadows
and old-growth forests, hiking
boulder-strewn slopes and
scaling icefalls.
For nearly 50 years, Darryl
Lloyd has brought the mountain
to people through talks and
slide shows attracting
thousands, and his writings
and stunning photography have
appeared extensively in print.
With his brother Darvel, Lloyd
founded the non-profit Friends
of Mount Adams in 2004,
promoting protection,
scientific research, and
stewardship of the mountain.
Lloyd holds a master of marine
affairs degree from the
University of Rhode Island,
and lives in Hood River.

look back at Forest Fire

10 Steiner
Cabins Tours, 9 am - 4
pm.
The cabins are the work of Henry Steiner, a craftsman who emigrated from Germany and began building mountain homes that relied on the offerings of the natural surroundings. Once a year, the owners of some of the nearly 100 Steiner cabins open their doors to the public.
This year’s tour features one cabin that is a well-maintained rental property. Another cabin, built in 1925, was abandoned and closed after its previous owner took out all the characteristic Steiner features and has since been restored to reflect the original cabin.
Another cabin on the tour is a smaller home of about 800 square feet, featuring an open design that is rare among the Steiner cabins on the mountain. One other is a Forest Service “summer home.” The summer homes are private homes built on land leased from the Forest Service beginning in the 1920s. There are eight Steiner cabins among the hundreds of Forest Service summer homes on the mountain.
Steiner cabins include Henry Steiner’s signature features that draw on nature and materials at hand including basalt fireplaces, log doors, half log stairs and banisters of tree branches.
All the other events are free, but
for this tour, you need to
purchase a ticket in
advance. Tickets go
on sale online on Monday, July
1st., starting immediately after
midnight on the night of June
30.
Note that tickets usually
sell out within a few hours. So,
if you are interested, purchase
your tickets online right after
midnight.
Tickets will be available online at 12:01 a.m. on July 1 at www.mthoodmuseum.org. All ticket sales are final with no refunds. However, ticket holders may transfer their tickets if unable to attend. Tickets are $35 for museum members or $40 for non members.
Three tour times will be offered, starting at 9 a.m., 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. One hundred tickets will be issued for each time period. Tour participants will pick up tickets, wristbands and tour maps at the Hoodland Senior Center, 65000 E. Highway 26, in Welches.
The entire tour is expected to take two to three hours.

Cleanup
Our 15th cleanup.
October 26
, 2019
Saturday,
10am
Our club has adopted a
2-mile section of Highway 26,
mileposts 51-53. We have
been keeping it clean since
2010.
We'll meet in Mt.
Hood Skibowl's parking lot at 10
am sharp. We'll do some good
work for 2 hours.
Click on
the map to enlarge.
12:00 (noon) -
approximately. The club will
cover the cost of lunch either
at the Brew Pub or at The
Taco Shoppe in Government
Camp. Let's replenish our energy
and enjoy each other's
company.
Those who plan to help,
need to go on-line with the
State Highway Department, and
just review the "rules of the
road" so to speak. We used to
have to watch a video, but that
is no longer required. Now, you
just need to read through the
rules and instructions, and we
can deal with the rest
ourselves. Just go to:
http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/pages/rules/oars_700/oar_734/734_029.html
and scroll down to the
"Specific Requirements".
The "Applicant" is our club, and
the Participants are all who
show up on the day of the event.
Debbi will have the
waivers we all need to sign on
the day of the event.
