Snow’s a comin, better git

Been a great time here in Redmond at the Rockin Teague Ranch.  Pardon me, I’m being told they don’t own it yet but they will soon have squatters rights.

The food at this particular B&B is of the highest standards and the cook is anxious to have her guests eat it all so she can stay true to her routine.  How Emil can stay so thin is beyond me.  Must be the pre dawn bike ride from Redmond to work in Bend. 

This evening we were anxiously watching the western sky as the next storm rolled in.  Emil gets to ride to work in it tomorrow morning and we get to try to get to Portland.


Three Sisters up close

Three Sisters from the "Teague Observation Deck" before the storm rolled over the peaks and across the foreground.


It doesn't look to good for Emil's ride tomorrow; we will see whether it is white or just wet when we get up.  Have a very important MLS game in Portland on Thursday.

Went to the High Desert Museum today.  Very impressive, definitely on any one's must do list if you are in the area.  Here are a few of the great dioramas.



A really fine example of an early USFS brush rig.
Didn't fish this stop; not the right time, we'll be back in the fall when the streams are low and the fish at our mercy.  Did see some nice trout in the stream that flows through the museum property.  Emil and I stopped at a beaver pond exhibit and flicked ants into the pond.  Which created a feeding frenzy.

Holding my polarized clip ons over the lens, let me photograph some of the many trout in the beaver pond.

Here's hoping the weather lets us make the Timbers home opener.

Travel safe.
