OREGON
One of my favorite states to go through on the trip was Oregon.�� These first few pictures were taken in southern Oregon on our way to Portland.�� The landscape is just awesome.�� The lakes had some of the bluest water I have ever seen.� The picture to the left was taken through the windshield so sorry for the glare.
Just another beautiful shot of a lake along the highway on the way up to Portland.� Jeff's sister was living in Portland at the time and his parents were also going cross country so we all met up in Portland for a few days
While in Portland we took a side trip to Mt. Hood.� What an awesome place.�� I wish I would have had my snowboard with me.� It was in the 80's and people were still able to ski and snowboard at the top of the mountain.� This pic was taken on the drive up.
Just another picture on the way up to the lodge.�� I don't know why I didn't take a picture of the lodge, it is amazing.� It is absolutely huge and was built by the� Conservation Corp during the depression.�� It is absolutely huge and has incredible wood work inside.
These were two buses used to transport snowboarders at the mountain.� I thought they were pretty cool and would love to have a mural painted on the side of my VW bus like these.
One last shot of Mt. Hood taken from the lake below it.�� It was pretty amazing to be able to ski on a mountain and then go swimming in a lake a few miles away all in the same day.�� Oregon is a really gorgeous state.�� After a few days wandering around Oregon it was time to start the journey home.�� This is always the down side of the trip, I wished we had another month at least.
