Roadtrip to the Wright Observatory

Last Sunday (09-20-09) a couple of buddies and I went on a little road trip. I guess I better back up a little bit and say the trip happened because I had gotten a new car the weekend before. Yes, the Red Rocket is no longer my means of conveyance. I am now the proud owner of a 2002 Buick Le Sabre that I bought from a friend of dad. It is beautiful and I love it.

My two friends are John and Rodney. Rodney works for Eugene Sand and Gravel and spent the whole summer working on Hwy 242 so he made a great tour guide. John and I had a lot of fun mentioning what a terrible job the road crew did about every five minutes just to upset Rodney.It was an absolutely perfect morning. Our first stop was Proxy Falls.

What is so weird about Proxy falls is that there is no stream at the bottom. It just dies into this semi-stagnant pool. There is obviously some sort of fissure or lava tube under the pond . I've never seen anything like it.

Our next stop was in the lava flows. What an alien landscape. Sharp too!!

Fishin' the McKenzie

This was about a month ago. Still a little chilly. I'm just downstream from the Finn Rock Store. My buddy I was fishing with just sent these photos. Though I'd share.

What's new in my world.

The biggest change is I started a new job in April. I am now working at 9 Wood. They are a wood ceiling company. The name may sound familiar because Kevin works there also. It is a really cool company to work for and am very happy to be working with wood again. They are sure keeping me busy. We're really lucky that we have this little nitch that doesn't seem to be affected by the slow economy. We set a record last month for square feet shipped. When not at work I've been trying to fish as much as possible. I went camping on Memorial Day weekend. I went up to Delta campground by Cougar Reservoir. It was nice to get away for a couple days. Just me, a big pile of firewood and a couple books. It was great. Other than that not much is new. I feel kinda lame not having any pictures in my post. Next time I'll be more prepared!
