6. Thanks for letting us come along and camp out in that beautiful piece of the world.

It was a treat. Now, give your dog a bone, and put your feet up for a spell, until next year.

Job well done.

8. That one of South Sister and Broken Top is especially nice.

9. Big thanks for sharing some glimpses of your time in relative solitude.

Many will never be so lucky.

10. Oh, I forgot a couple of YouTube videos!

The first is of a lightning bust one afternoon in late July. Listen to the radio traffic. There are lots of lightning strikes, but they are hard to see in this low quality daylight video.

11. Worth watchin' for the runnin' water and steak n'capers recipe.

I get the feeling that Jack Kerouac had nothing to do but write. No videos.

Regardless, I'm envious. What a great place, and thanks again for that view!

12. You do far more for the environment with these beautiful photos than

most of will ever be able to do. You show the beauty and sometimes the problems with the fires. Thank you.

13. My dear DemoTex!

Oh, boy......I nearly missed seeing your thread!

And how much I love your pictures...

They are wonderful!

Thank you so much for them...

Enjoy your time at home! I am looking forward to next year and your adventures out here in Oregon!
