Table Rock Wilderness, OR: Three friends and I hiked up to the summit of Table Rock. The hike which started out as a pleasant stroll on a country road soon turned into a grueling uphill climb. The effort was well worth it though with outstanding views of much of the surrounding high Cascade peaks. The only thing that was better then the view was the company I shared it with.
Bull of the Woods Wilderness:: Lena and I spent our 7th anniversary hiking the Bull of the Woods trail to the lookout tower. The weather was warm with a cool breeze that swept through the trees as we traversed the Mountain side. Much to our surprise where numerous fallen logs that obstucted the trail, testing our endurance. Neither words nor pictures can describe the view at the top. God was with us.
One of Americas wild and scenic rivers.The Metolius is one of the largest spring-fed streams in the United States. For 13 miles it flows unimpeded, along the way it flows through old growth ponderosa pines,larch, fir, and cedar.
Fishing is a big attraction here and you will find in the Metolius some of the most wild and beautiful trout in all the state.
In this land called Oregon there are places Man has rarely tread. The Molalla River flows through a corridor of dense forests and rugged Mountain terrain. I had a opportunity to explore this area and seek out some of its natural beauty. We were searching for Joseph�s pool, named after the Mountain Man who once trapped in this area. The location is not well known and can only be gotten to by a several mile trek over steep Mountain terrain. We were determined to find this treasure of natural beauty and we did.
When walking through a warm and lush forest setting one's thoughts
can easily take flights of fancy. It is not difficult to shed the layers of modern life and find one's more subtle or primitive beginnings. Somewhere from deep within the spirit
and majesty of each single tree steps forth and at once one can find themselves transported to a world of shadow and shade.
