Drive to Oakridge & Westfir Oregon

3-30-07
Well this morning we decided to head over to Oakridge, Nevada's brother lives over there in Westfir.We have been trying to get over there, this morning everyone left out of here by 9 am so decided to just go. His brother has had 2 strokes and seems to have a anerism that they can't operate on. Well the drive was nice till we got past Williamtte Pass ski resort. then the rains started, i knew i didn't like it over there this time of yr. A much differant climate than here in the high desert.
This is the drive down there, yup fog in the distance. YUK!
So we get to Westfir only a short drive from Oakridge, we didn't call his brother to say we were coming )-: anyway they weren't home, so much for a trip to visit, we were concerned that he may of gone to the hospital, but called his sister in law and said that he wasn't so all was ok.
Andyway on the way home we stopped and took some more photos

Here is a covered bridge in Westfir, nice well kept bridge






Across the street is the Westfir Lodge a Bed & Breakfast
Be sure to check the website out, it is also for sale, with a virtual tour of the house, fabulous.Click on the sale ad.
and then virtual tour.




We then stopped at Blue Pool campground which is closed. Check out the web for that.
It will take some time i think for them to clean that place up

Here is a couple of trees down nope you can't get past that
right now.
Here is the pool i guess not very blue right now is it?




So we left there and headed up the road, we saw this water fall Salt Creek Falls that we couldn't stop at becuase of the snow, but be sure that if your in the area stop and look at it also click on the link.
And here is another water scene i took, sure wish i had one of those good cameras i could zoom in on . Oh well sometime soon.
Well that is about it for now, hope i didn't bore you all too much, i hope that you enjoy the photos and the links.
