Oregon Casscades

HW5 was mostly boring ... till we got to Redding. From there things became more interesting!

We were surprized to find so much snow on HW-62

The visitor center was burried in snow.

We took a nice look at the lake, just before sunset...

After talking to the ranger, we decided to spend the night camping on the rim.

We then headed towards Diamond-Lake.

Unfortunatly, the area is heavily used by snow-mobiles so we decided to move on.

HW-138 and the waterfalls

There were many waterfalls along the way

We found a place to camp below snow level.

We did a day of X-country near Hoodo ski Field. we had great views of beautiful Mt. washington.

After a long hard day, we spoiled ourselves a little...

After 4 days of sunshine.... the weather started to change, and on our way to Portland it started snowing heavily.

In Portland we stayed at my old friend from highschool - Rajeli and her husband Josh.

We went to the Japanese and Chinese gardens in Portland.

It was surprizing to see that Ashkelon was on the sign ?!##?!#?!#
