We finally found Lost Lake! Another tour in the Mt. Hood region.

3 Fallons contemplating the beauty of Mt. Hood overlooking Lost Lake.

Timberline Lodge is another must for tourists to Oregon!

The central Chimney is massively impressive!

Turning around from the view of the chimney, the summit of Mt. Hood is seen out of a huge window.

September was a month of visitors. Friends from out of town traveling through and family visiting from afar. I was a tour guide, showing off some of the beauty of a small corner of Oregon!

One tour was all the way around Mt. Hood.

Along the Columbia River we saw Horsetail Falls, one of many on the Columbia River Scenic Highway.

Of course a complete tour of the Scenic Highway includes Multnomah Falls!

Competition on the block! He was only visiting though!

A neighbor’s son’s restored Mustang.

The Jeepster in Safari mode!

August was the month of “Fests”. Of course the much anticipated Bend BrewFest was a blast! Why go to all the breweries, when you can taste it all in one place over 3 days and nights! According to The Seattle Times, “Among cities in beer-crazy Oregon, Bend now has the most craft breweries per capita. Some locals have started calling this ‘Beer City USA.’ More breweries are opening soon.”

BrewFest under an artificial moon. Is that Mothra hovering overhead? Must have been attracted by that false moon!

Then there was the nearby Culver Crawdad Fest! Lake Billy Chinook with miles of shoreline, gave up  2,000 pounds of crawfish for the festival, and it was all sold and consumed!

The mounded plateful for only $8!

The finished plateful, thank goodness I provided the Wet Ones!
