Our week long trip in
Oregon.
The space above will have a map of
our trip when I get it set up.

We had some time to
visit with friends in Portland the night before the trip and the night we
returned from Crater Lake. |

After a great dinner
with Ron & Ikie, Ron took us to the Heathman Hotel downtown for our
launch. Our first ride was about 30 miles into Westfir, just outside of
Oakridge. Day two was out first full day of riding, starting out
from the Westfir Inn at the covered bridge. Here is a
map of the trip. |

Our first night on the road was at Westfir Inn.
|
|
|
|
Pat McClain turned out to be one of our lead entertainers on the trip.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dinners were great. I think we all gained weight on the trip.

Reversing the camera got me in the picture at the far end of the table.

at Sunriver Resort, where we went out t try some fly fishing. |

At the outfitter, "The Hook", getting set for our expedition.
|
|
|
|
We drove about an hour to get to a small stream.
|
|
|
|
There were 5 guests with 2 guides.
|
|
|
|
Nolan & David with Pat MacClain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We walked along the stream to get to places where we could fich.
|
|
|
|
This stream only had very small trout, all "catch & release".
|
|
|
|
We didn't catch much, but the scenery was glorious and it was a great experience.
|
|
|
|
David worked hard at the process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What a great place to spend a few pleasant hours!
|
|
|
|
|
| |
After our rest day, we
took off on the Cascade Lakes Highway. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Our last two days were
at Crater Lake. We took a short ride on the first day to a great lunch
spot at Cloudcap. That evening, the snow started, and we woke up the next
morning to a snow covered scene. While at the lake, we got our only shot
of the entire group.

On the evening of the 14th , we began to get some snowfall.
|
|
|
|
The next morning, we could see that the biking was over.
|
|
|
|
|
|
No sorrow here!
|
|
|
|
It was a beautiful ride down from Crater Lake, which is over 6,000 feet.
|
|
|
|
On the ride down from the Lake we were all feeling good.
