1790s is when they estimate there was a big event on the S Side. Supposedly that is where all the sand came from that is still all over the drainage on that side. I have wondered about how much that melted out up top. I bet a lot of the S. Side slide or melted back then but there isn't good records that I know of.

1500 years ago is way bigger than the one I'm talking about. People think tons of sand came from a much smaller event(s) that was about 225 years ago. I guess that was small in the whole scheme of volcanic events but still a whole ton of sand and it changed the whole landscape. Lewis and Clark noticed the sand and talked about the Sandy drainage as a "quicksand" river.

While on the topic of doom and creation check out the Columbia river basalt flows. https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/observato...er_basalt.html
When a fissure opens up and really gets going it can flood the entire PNW with lava.

Last time was 2006. It was back in service fairly quickly though, although it took a while to get it really rebuilt
ETA - here’s a little history of that bridge

Well, looks like the wife and I are finally pulling the relocation trigger and moving to Hood River. Closer to her folks, and closer to skiing than our current situation. Win for everybody! Should be moved in before winter, so I’ll be skiing full time with ya mags. See you in the HRM lot. I’ll be the guy drinking beers at the end of the day. And, I’m most definitely in for BBI Alpy now that it’ll be a short drive away... no excuses for missing it now, eh?

Welcome to Oregon! Going coast to coast? Clicked on your thingy and it says VA.
Thinking I might hike Timberline tomorrow night since it is feeling relatively cold right now. I wouldn't mind company if you'll be here by then. Get the impression you aren't moving today though.
Also good chance I'll go ride the lift next weekend. Ticket prices dropped to $49 for the rest of the month. Woo hoo!
