Oregon Trip

I just got back from visiting family in Oregon and we took a rode trip on Sunday over to eastern Oregon. This is Mt Hood about 2 hours out of Portland looking back. In other words we went over the mountain.

                                                     

We was on our way to Sisters Oregon , also went through Bend Oregon .


However the high light of the trip was driving down this canon road along this river where people go to raft and camp.
This is a stand out in the river where only a certain Indian tribe can stand to catch fish.


It's sacred Indian ground . I loved the picture below driving along the canon. We came from way on top to the bottom where the river was running 



The trout fishing is catch and release only . The name of the river is Deschutes River




This is what I had for supper last night, Lobster. After being in the northwest I always want seafood to eat . This is the first time I ever cooked one for myself at home. yummy 





Linky parties I joined

  7. Thanks for taking me back to Oregon. That is the only way I will be going back. Lots of beauty there. Many, many years ago,I took my grandmother to see her daughter in Eugene. That was an experience as she had never flown and she was on up in years. Then later on my son and his wife lived in Portland. Too much rain and cold for me. They are back in Texas now.

  10. My mother was born in Portland so visiting Oregon was a summer pleasure. I have never been to Bend, but it is on our list. We are thinking of a family ski trip one year to Bend.

  11. Isn't Eastern Oregon beautiful!!! I can and have spent a whole day browsing and shopping in Sisters...it's such a cute little place with unique stores. Arn't those fishing stands something else~~~I've seen them being used upon the Columbia at Cascade Locks and its scary dangerous! Tried to follow you but Google say's "sorry, no can do", it's been like that for a couple of weeks now.

  18. So glad you could visit my home State. Isn't Mt Hood a vision on a beautiful sunny day. We love Central Oregon as well and get over to a resort in Redmond at least once each summer and have family that lives over there to visit as well.
