100 MPH


100 MPH, originally uploaded by Wooly Biker.


This is a view down the mighty Columbia River, just a few miles North of Wenatchee. In the distance, up there in the clouds, is Mission Ridge. For the past 2 days, Mission has had sustained winds of over 70 mph with maximum gusts reaching 116 mph. During one 9 hour period, the wind gusted over 100 for 8 of those hours. With a combination of the wind with new snowfall, avalanche duty is certainly in my near future.
