Over the Eastern OR wilderness
At 10500' below radar coverage but thankfully good FSS radio coverage for position reporting
Eastern OR
Over some relatively remote areas of eastern OR. We wanted to go to the Portland area but had to divert due to weather. So we break off the trial near Caldwell ID and make for klammath falls. This pic is looking to the northeast as we approach Burns OR
Three islands crossing
This is near Glenn's ferry and these three islands were used by some pioneers to cross the snake. This is looking east upriver
Arch bridge
A view of the bridge from the south end looking north. This is a big "base jumping" spot. It was a bit windy but this one brave guy jumped. You can see his chute near the north shore of the river. They had a target zone marked on the south bank. He fell a bit short and seemed to go into some bushes but seemed ok. I could not imagine them allowing this sort of random jumping anywhere back east.
