So anyone who knows me knows that #1 I'm afraid of heights, and #2 I'm afraid of scary movies. This weekend, we went camping at Trillium Lake on Mt. Hood (an annual tradition to break in the RV at the beginning of the camping/travel season) and decided to check out Timberline Lodge. Timberline has always freaked me out for two reasons.

#1 It's way the hell up on the mountain, 6000 ft elevation. (There's always snow up there. You can even go skiing/snowboarding in the summer.) Everywhere you look, you're looking down over the edge of some steep slope or drop. I had vertigo by just sitting in the restaurant. I don't think the reduced oxygen helped much.

#2 It's where they filmed The Shining. I always thought the horror film thing would give me the heebie jeebies, but it didn't. Maybe horror movies don't scare me anymore. (I don't know. I haven't seen one in such a long time that I haven't tested this theory.)

It was a very nice place, though. I think we'll have to stay up there for a weekend just for fun.
