I took a trip this weekend with my sister, brother-in-law and nephew. We visited the Blue Mountains of Oregon. They are located in the northeastern part of the state. All together, in this area, are the Blues, Wallowas and the Elkhorns. It is a very mountainous part of the state.
The reason we made this trip was to commerate the life of my other nephew, Terry. Terry died of cancer 18 years ago at the tender age of 32. Terry was the strong, adverturous one of the family. He was a chief petty officer in the US Navy and did everything from scuba diving off of Guam, to helping in the filming of Red October. He is missed terribly. The areas we visited are where his ashes were scattered.
So, life goes on. We miss him but he is where he loved to be, the mountains of Oregon.
Absolutely beautiful Fred. I do love those mountains.
I am sorry for your loss.
Thanks Jim. Didn't see any elk though and only a couple of deer and they were in Portland. lol
Beautiful country. Any more photos to share?
Yes, here is one from Tollgate, looking back toward the south and east.
Beautiful pictures Fred, I have to put down N. Oregon as a place to visit!
This area also includes the Eagle Cap wilderness area, some of God's greatest. Here is the link to it.
