it began as an ancient indian burial ground. when the white man came to build highway 26, they cut into silent rock, exposing ancient indian bodies. ever since then, the ancient indian spirits have been seeking revenge.

I only abide by the silent rock rule becase if I don't everyone in the car usually starts punching me. But yeah, I think its silly.

On the way up Mt. Hood, there is a cut made through a leg of hillside for the highway. This leaves a hugh hunk of rock on the right which has come to be called 'silent rock'. The story goes that while building the new highway a worker lost his life. In honor of him everyone in the car stops talking and turns off the radio while passing through this cut known now as silent rock. Whether the story is true or not I don't know, but it has become a nice tradition.

That's the story I know.

I never heard of silent rock when i was there, and the radio/ipod was always on, and nothig happened. So the curse must not pertain to me.

heres what i have heard: some snowboarder chich crashed into it (the rock) and died so you are supposed to be silent and if you arent you will have a really shitty day on the mountain.

me and my crew just think its a joke but one day we go up and talk as were going past it...heres a list of what happend that day

-one of my freinds got really sick for like three weeks
-another got a cuncussion on a rail
-we were doing donuts in my car and we crashed the entire front half of the car into a snowbank( 1 1/2 hour dig out)
-on the way down got pulled over by cops ( i have been driving for 2 years and never got pulled over)

not saying i believe in the whole rock thing but weird shit!

my friends and i were driving towards silent rock a couple years ago and someone said, "shhhhhh silent rock is coming up." another friend said, "silent rock is gay" and some other stupid shit.

way before we came close to the rock many of us decided to put chew in our mouths and spit into a single cup.

well, we came towards the rock to begin our passage and the friend who talked shit about the superstition had the cup's bottom fall out and dump chew all over his crotch.

you tell me, fact or fiction? how many times have you had the bottom of a chew cup deteriorate (sp) and fall on your dick?
