Dollar Fire Labor Day Update
Most of the haze is gone after yesterday's thick smoke that blanketed the Mt. Hood area. Today, just a thin haze in the air. Here is today's update for September 5th on the size of the fire, the closed trails and forest service roads, campgrounds, and other pertinent information you may need to know.
A bit of inspiration from Mt. Hood
Dollar Fire Closes LoLo Pass and Campgrounds
It's a hazy day near Mt. Hood today with the Dollar Fire clouding up our skies on this Labor Day weekend. This fire originated from the North side from a lightening strike near Cooper Spur. Yesterday it crept up to Cathedral Ridge with strong East winds whipping down our canyons. Limbs were dropping and power was knocked out for some local residents. Friends up LoLo Pass Road had ash raining down on their home all afternoon.
Many campers and horse campers were told to leave our local campgrounds-McNeil and Riley Horse Camp, Lost Lake. The Pacific Crest Trail is closed too. Check details on camp areas that are closed.

Mt. Hood Foreclosures-Facing Foreclosure? Read This
If you are facing a Mt. Hood foreclosure you may want to pay attention to this recent article in the Oregonian concerning a delay of many foreclosures going to court. This could delay your foreclosure for a while and as the court reviews these cases, some of our Oregon laws could make you liable for the difference in what you owe to the lender and what your home actually sells for.
How did this happen? Well, last year Federal judges started blocking foreclosures because the lenders did not follow procedures properly. If your mortgage was sold many times (and most have- through MERS*) the requirement is that each sale of that mortgage is to be recorded in the County that the sale takes place. MERS eliminated that "recording" process and these Federal judges are calling that process invalid because they did not follow the law's requirements.
Call your lender and be sure of the dates for foreclosure because you may be premature in your move out of your home.
*What is MERS and what does it mean to me in an Oregon foreclosure?
