It is now quite a large city, with over 70,000 residents...and there are cart paths throughout. However, in the downtown areas, golf cars are allowed on the streets.<br /><br />Many of these folks are quite well-to-do, and they still have their Mercedes and Jaguars, etc. Some of them add many extras to their golf cars which brings the price up to as high as $20,000 US. Even a basic golf car goes for between $5-7,000!Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536021732578795315.post-25601781150717604032009-12-18T10:24:22.319-05:002009-12-18T10:24:22.319-05:00Can you imagine if they all decide to leave at the...Can you imagine if they all decide to leave at the same time?B SQUAREDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510619553483917078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536021732578795315.post-32383288360069295162009-12-18T08:52:43.732-05:002009-12-18T08:52:43.732-05:00@ Ciel - Every night's a concert night - 365 n...@ Ciel - Every night's a concert night - 365 nights a year!

Hood. Yes, it's a very sad turn of events. I just finally saw your comment from the 13th. It seems that almost every year I've been in Oregon, one or more climbers have been lost and found dead on Mt. Hood. It may not be every year, but it's been fairly often. It's so sad, as these are usually young people with a great spirit for life and nature, as these three were. I looked up the statistics, and and saw that since they've been keeping records, there has been almost one death per year total on the mountain, but they often occur in groups. There's even an article in Wikipedia about climbing accidents on Mt. Hood. There have been 130 deaths between 1896 and 2002. I don't know how that compares with other mountains, but it seems like a lot. We drive across the shoulder of the mountain on most trips between Astoria and Bend, and it's really a beautiful and probably very compelling mountain - very accessible from Portland, too. I had a nice picture of Mt. Hood I was going to post before I knew this tragedy was taking place. I'll probably post it soon. I didn't know the people, but I think we all feel something when it's close to home. Thanks for your comment.tapirgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098235462073493603noreply@blogger.com
