Hood River Railroad

Daddy surprised us by getting us tickets to ride the Hood River Railroad.

Here I am with Brown Bear, waiting for Daddy to pick up our tickets.














I thought I'd get a shot of the town before we left...














Daddy took this one of me and Mommy on the train.














We got to see and experience a "switchback" during our ride. There are only 5 switchbacks in all of the USA! We had to switch tracks here so we could continue up the mountain.














A view of the tracks we travelled along when the switchback was complete.














We saw a lot of orchards along the way.














When we got to Odessa we had to wait while the engine did a "run-around". They disconnected the engine from the front, then it passed us and went to the back and pushed us the rest of the way! We got to experience a lot on the train today!





















One of the cars on our train...














Daddy and me on our car - the "Katharine".














Back in Stevenson this afternoon, Mommy and I saw deer crossing the road! A mommy deer and her 2 babies, right in town!
