We stopped for lunch at the McMenamins Edgefield. It is an interesting place full of art and great food.
This little building used to be an incinerator. Now it is a cute little pub.
Wonderful plants and gardens.

Timberline Lodge
We headed up and over the mountain to a rainy and foggy Timberline Lodge.
Some artwork made when the Civilian Conservation Corps built the lodge.
The Blue Ox Bar in a room that originally was supposed to be for wood storage.
Too bad the bar was closed when we were there!

The four-sided fireplaces on the ground floor of Timberline Lodge.
Up on the second floor of the lodge with a series of big fireplaces and many nooks in which people can relax in between runs on the ski slopes.
The gorgeous CCC architecture of the roof.
I love the attention to detail in this building.
Someone playing with their kid in the wet snow with a bit of rain falling from above.
More gorgeous artwork in the third floor of the lounge area.
At some point, someone thought that it would be a good idea to build a pool on the side of the lodge.
Interesting carvings.
One of the stairwells with intricate carvings.
An absolutely massive door.
Richard L. Kohnstamm is the man who brought Timberline Lodge back from the brink of ruin and turned the place into the wonderful resort that it is today.
