How do you rack up that size fish? Still looks like fun. We were a little cool for that this weekend.
We found a good spot, and they were hittin the lures every cast. Pretty fun for him. Now, He wants to keep one.
 
On my way to do some errands. Not closer, but like the trip to Canon City from our place. Just a nice drive in the country with a few sights of the Sangre de Cristo mountains shining white with a little snow.

Much more beautimus than the flat coastal plains I drove through this past weekend. Did not realize that so many of them big whirlygigs had sprouted up down there. You are lucky to live in such a beautiful place Garry.
 
No, that is Smith Rock in the foreground and the Ochoco Mtns in the distance. Smith Rock is a big climbing area, the Crooked River flows through it.
Is that the river with the tall bridge- beautiful area. we Love the drive from Biggs to Shasta and I-5, well except that you end up in Ca. The Lee of the cascades gives you amazingly diverse scenery. One cold clear morning we were at the view spot and could see Raineer to north and Shasta to south and all the volcanoes in between. Impossible to describe but amazing to see.

Yes, I think that's the same one. Hwy 97 runs north-south across central Oregon from the Dalles and joins I-5 at Weed, CA. They built a bridge over the narrow canyon in 1926. Later, it couldn't handle the traffic so they built a newer one about 100 yards downstream. Now the first one is a pedestrian site seeing spot. This isn't my photo but you can see the two bridges and the canyon below . Smith Rock would be upstream (east) from these bridges, several miles.

It's a rare day you get one clear enough to see that entire span of the Cascades, but it does happen.
