Returned from Washington and Oregon
July 8th, 2007,We had a great trip to Washington and Oregon. I’ll say more in a future post. For now, enjoy the pictures above. The first shows Portland, Oregon, with the Cascade Mountains in the background. It was taken looking east from the Japanese Garden. The second is Bend, Oregon, which is on the eastern side of the Cascades; this view is looking west from Pilot Butte, with the Cascades in the background. The third is the impressive view looking west toward the Cascades from the 8,000 foot summit of Paulina Peak. Don’t be too impressed with my climb of that summit; you can drive there!

Or bike, presumably?

Yes, but it would be a tough ride!
