HMB 50 stands for “Hand Made Brigade, 50”. 50 is the number of hours from when Dr. Laurel Berge, called me asking for help until the time we donned (and doffed, which apparently is a real word) the first Tyvek prototype. (which was prototype 5) It’s been a quick 5 days.

Meadows is done for the season, and Timberline keeps re-evaluating when/if they will be able to open – after all, they are basically open year-round. If you’re thinking of backcountry skiing, please consider the impact you’d have on busy emergency rooms if you get injured, and also think about the impact on Search and Rescue crews.Now, if you happen to be driving over the passes, you’ll want to prepare for winter driving conditions.

All trails and sno-parks in the Mt. Hood National Forest, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, and Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area are closed. While Post Canyon may be open as of this morning, you are not allowed to park at the bottom of Post or anywhere else in the trail system. My hope is that the rest of the local trails are closed soon, as they will draw increasing crowed and spread this virus. People, if you need to ride your bike, please do so on the road where social distancing is possible.Upcoming Events – this section is on vacation due to Covid-19
