* Pics from Oregon/Washington - Outdoors/Cities/Towns/Streets

We found the same scene and headed on- there's a 90 left before where you camped that follows the creek and forks a couple different ways onto the mountain ridges. The last pic is toward the head end of Willow Crk where we camped in the somewhat sheltered canyon that night. There are a couple stone homestead ruins on the west side of the creek about a mile back toward the springs. The mountain ridges are worth wandering around for a few days. Usually a lot of antelope and hardly any people. Great views and a few rough spots to camp here and there. There are various tracks that lead toward Whitehorse Ranch Rd and one I've taken the comes out near Denio.

 

Mount Ashland, Nepal Road.... my wife being from Nepal and all, we grabbed a pic

 

Christmas Valley, Or.

 

Just outside Monroe, OR

 

Crater Lake today

 

What lake is this…

 

Guessing Island lake on Hwy 20 pass.

 

I'm going to treat it like my favorite steelhead honeyhole and keep it quiet so it doesn't get trashed.

 

Don’t blame you. If you ever see me up there, stop by for a beer

 

Willamette River at Independence, Oregon

 

It did NOT look like that today...

 

Took the kids to keechelus to play in the snow.

was a beautiful day to hang out and have a beer by a fire

 

@Bertw192 @tonered and myself were up that way yesterday as well....good times!

 

Mustve missed you all - we were out there around 11-2? went over to Dru Bru afterwards for some more beers which was a pretty nice spot (my first time out there)

Seemed like the water level was way higher than last year around this time, you couldn't drive off into the other areas like usual

 

We were between keechelus and kachess looking for trees from about 11-4

 

Any luck? Originally i was going to head out to french cabin creek area in Cle Elum to look for a tree but just settled on the lake

 

Yeah found a great one!
