An Adventure to Mount Hood and Columbia River Gorge: A Day of Mixed Emotion | 50 at 60 – Episode #12

A rollercoaster of emotions for me personally to say the least. Safe to say, I will always remember this area for what happened just before I arrived to that pullout just before the fenced off Oneonta Gorge 🙁

In Episode #12 of my 50 at 60 journey, I start the vlog with a creative attempt to chat, met with mixed results. Outside, it’s snowing, setting a beautiful yet somber tone for the day. I travel up the road to Mount Hood, capturing stunning B-roll of fresh snow on the evergreens and soaking in the serene beauty of the drive. The journey continues to the Columbia River Gorge, where I photograph magnificent waterfalls.

The vlog takes an unexpected and emotional turn as I witness the aftermath of a tragic accident at a cliff, a stark reminder of life’s fragility. With mixed emotions, I visit a fish hatchery and share my thoughts and reflections about the day’s events.

Join me for a day filled with beauty, contemplation, and poignant moments.
