Seeing Oregon Country

 On The 22nd of Sept. 5 of us Chicks went to the Mtn. Rose Herb sponsered Rootstalk Festival and on the way there and on the way home I was blessed with the opportunity to see more of Oregon.  It is a beautiful State.  These first two photos are in the outskirts of the town of Drain.  One of the chicks parents live there and we stopped overnight. They are

 building a new home but this is their garden area in front of the house.  Drain was very close to Cottage Grove.

 These pictures are on the way home and they are of Lake Lowell.  This is where the covered bridge is.  This is the west side of the lake.

 We stopped here for a break and just had to take pictures.  If you look close enough the covered bridge is all the way across the lake.

Ha Ha, well what do you know?  This bridge is older than I am.

 I took alot of pics of this bridge.  When you go through it there are windows out to the lake from the inside.  Cars can't drive through it any longer but the next bridge was right in the town of Lowell and traffic drives through every day.

 These lovely falls are Salt Creek Falls and they were gorgeous!  I wouldn't have know they were there if Cheryl hadn't been there before.
