Pics from my Oregon trip

[adam75south]

I went to Oregon this summer. Documented my whole trip(minus the airports) and had a great time. Was there for a week and took about 650 photos. Finally got around to editing them. Figured I'd share.

Here we go.

My first day there, we decided to hike Three Fingered Jack. I learned a few things. 1. I'm really out of shape. and 2. Gotta carry less lenses with me on hikes. Luckily I had my Lowepro backpack(mini trekker) or I'd have really been in trouble.


1. There was a forest fire a few years back, so the first part of the hike has these old burnt trees.

2. It didn't help that I kept running ahead and up hills to get shots of us hiking.

3. We had a long way to go and we were only half way.

10. My waking view from our "sleeping cabin". My lady friend's family owns a section of land on the Metolius River(shown in the picture), a house cabin, a party cabin, and about 5 or 6 sleeping cabins like this one. Yes, totally open to the night air. It was weird, but pretty cool.

13. The view from the pooper. It was actually pretty serene.

14. The boardwalk leading up to the party cabin. That's what I call it anyway. They call it the "hex cabin" because it's shaped like a hexagon.

Adam,

Some nice shots in the series. Based on your view of Mt Hood and '3 Fingered Jack' I am guessing you were somewhere south of Mt. Hood?

[adam75south]

to be honest, i was upside down and backwards. had no clue where i was.

if it helps, their cabins are about 5 miles from camp sherman. seemed like about a 15-20 minute drive to jack.

Absolutely wonderful series. Thanks for sharing.

[adam75south]

thanks! normally i wouldn't post this many, but it was hard to sum up the trip in just 10 photos.

my favorite one of the trip, i didn't post. it's the one with the grandpa sitting next to the naked baby. you'd have to go through the link to the full gallery to see it. never know who's going to be offended by a naked baby.

[kgosden]

Yeah, offended is generally the least of your problems with naked baby photos on the web. Best to keep them in the family album for your own legal protection.
