Let’s see. According to the account below, we were damning the torpedoes and heading over the mountain to meet up with a bunch of Teagues, both the not so and really old branches of the family.
You’ll have to take my word for it; that went really well and we arrived at the Redmond Ranch residence of Sara and Emil’s after smooth sailing up and down Mt Hood. No photographic proof, but it was a beautiful trip.
Been eating, biking, walking, eating, fishing and shopping. With the caloric intake definitely out pacing the exercise; but I’m not complaining. It is a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

Emil and I fished a nearby spot on the Deschutes. Larry accompanied as official photographer/historian/recorder. I still had to take my own pictures as he was nowhere to be found when the action got "heavy".

The Redmond estate afforded the usual outstanding views while the grounds offered interesting exploring. The owner has some interesting home grown art, both inside and out.
