Heading north on Wednesday






We departed Cresent Oregon today and headed for Washington. Driving up the central Oregon high desert we found spectacular views of the volcanic mountians that make up part of the Pacific ring of fire. Mounts Bachelor, the three sisters, Hood and Adams showed their snow covered peaks for most of 4 hours.


We stopped to look at the Crooked River Gourge and found a spectacular vista. The gourge is 300 feet deep with the Crooked River at the bottom. Not the Grand Canyon but a close second.

In the distance we saw the snow covered peaks of Mt Bachelor and the Three Sisters.
Tomorrow we head for the Idaho backcountry and will spend three nights at Heyburn State Park near Plummer, Idaho
Back on the web Sunday night at Spokane.
