Geocache Description:


We were in Hood River for the holidays when overcome by the need to get out and active after the gorging and comatose TV watching of the previous day. We struck out for a short hike to nearby North Lake, thinking that the lack of recent precipitation would allow us to make the drive into the hills with ease and without the usual wintry driving preparations. We got to within 2 miles of the trailhead before our rational sides quailed in light of the snow accumulation. Dream dashed!

I decided to show bkaero the spot to which I had planned to retire - a rustic cabin I discovered while doing some ecological research in my university days. Sure, it had needed some love even back then, but I felt confident that with nothing but time on my hands I could make it a home. We tromped about the area and finally stumbled upon the last dregs of a derelict foundation. No amount of love would restore what was once whole. Dream dashed!

In the depths of despair which so often follow the holidays we decided to place a cache here. In your log, it would be great if you would share a dashed dream, relate how the experience made you stronger, or share a current dream.
