Cascade Lakes
We've settled ourselves at a Sno-Park on the Cascade Lakes Highway, designated in 1998 as a National Scenic Byway. The elevation is 6000 feet, so we have escaped the heat of Bend. What a difference 15 miles makes! On Tuesday we went lake-hopping.
Sparks Lake is especially beautiful and interesting. It was selected as the site to commemorate Ray Atkeson, Oregon's Photographer Laureate. Who knew there was such a thing! It is geologically interesting because it illustrates the short life of shallow mountain lakes, as they slowly become a meadow.For more lake pictures, go to Diana's Flickr pictures here.
Randy hasn't been getting enough sleep!
A visitor dropped in with a house-warming gift! WIN member and fellow 22H trailer owner Allan Moore showed up to share the cool mountain air.

I hope you're keeping a list of all these great spots.
I knew Ray Atkinson. He was a fellow PSA'er and I palled around with him at one of the PSA Conventions that I went to. Maybe it was the one in Portland some years ago. He has been dead for quite awhile, don't know how long.
