Cascade Head

Always an adventure

It was nice in the Valley, so we took off to the coast to hike Cascade Head. It was not so nice on the coast.

We sat in the car for a bit, waiting for the rain to stop, then we got out and started up the hill. It rained.
It wasn’t too bad until we got out of the trees, then it was raining sideways. We own rain pants and we even carried them, but were reluctant to put them on and get sweaty. So instead we got soaked. For sure the worst so far.

We didn’t go to the top because it was hard enough just turning around into the wind, but we did actually have to turn back. It was fun nonetheless.
