Oregon Gone

There are few places in the world that make leaving Oregon palpable for Blogger, though he often forgets this. Luckily, Blogger is currently headed to two of those places: Manhattan, where Medora resides, and Barcelona which claims the remaining third of his heart.
The last stint of five days in Oregon, albeit short, reminded Blogger just how amazing the Beaver State is, and will continue to be due to the never changing landscapes and ever evolving progressive tendencies.

Here are some photographic samplings:

Mt. Jefferson

The newest portion of Mt. Jefferson Farms

Smith Rock: A Climber's Paradise

The left Dihaderals at Smith Rock, providing Blogger's First Succesful Lead Climb, which he had no business attempting....

..........especially wearing hot pants and a flat top.

Fresh and thick Stumptown Coffee in a French Press (or Italian Press to the French....any Italians are encouraged to set the record straight as the French are less than reliable )



And last but not least, Blogger's Grandma and a Fat Easter Ham
