4.5 miles of hiking • 0' elevation gain •
Geared up for Larch Mt from the Gate, but the Wind was gusting so hard [100mph] I worried about tree blowdown on the 10 miles of road before the gate. Did not want to get stuck up there alone. As if to confirm my fears, the Historic Hwy was blocked by downed trees soon after. Fail. Retreat towards Troutdale. Plan B was Sandy river Delta. The pup enjoyed it. Nuclear East Wind.
