My Oregon Neighborhood (9/7/20 update)

[us56456712]

I aired out some dirty small town Oregon laundry in the 'Plains of Armageddon' and 'Plains of Armageddon II' threads. Now for some of the more palatable pics of my neighborhood . No bicycle, just bipedal. Standard disclaimer, pics are from a broke cell camera... poor quality.

Went for a little trip up into the Cascades. Specifically, the Salt Creek Falls area... we've been up here in the winter, and it was beautiful, so we thought we should check it out in the summer as well...

Salt Creek Falls...I believe the second tallest in Oregon?

Couldn't make it to the bottom as the last hundred yards of trail was destroyed (slid off the cliff), this is as low as we got...

Then we took the Diamond Creek Falls trail...it was quite the work out...

Nothing particularly great about this little lake, except the name...'Too Many Bears Lake' .

No bear sign found, however .

Beautiful. Too bad it’s so far away. My only trip there was in 1970. Big trees, mountains then beautiful moonscap.

We had rain last night and this morning. I saw the sun today...a blue sky...and the world didn't smell of smoke. Nice change.
