Scott Kelley and Mike Niemeyer's trip Mt Hood was a bust. At the Timberline parking lot the car was being rocked around and it was very hard to stand up. Mt Hood weather station showed avg wind spead at 6,600ft of 47 and high of 76 mph with air temp of 1 degree at 9 am (thats a wind chill of -34.) We hiked around a bit to test gear and marvel at the futility of trying to function in those conditions. My test of the SPOT satellite device by sending some "check-in" messages to his blog seemed to work fine.
