Kayaking Three Creeks Lake

My son and I, adventurers that we are drove up to Three Creeks Lake which is only about 20 miles from the house. Once the pavement ends on Forest Road 16, the driving gets really slow because the road is so rough you worry about bottoming out on your oil pan. The lake is picturesque and calm. It is located in a glacial cirque, below Tam McArthur Rim, which was probably last occupied by glacial ice about 13,000 years ago during the Canyon Creek advance of the Cabot Creek glaciation. The outlet stream from the lake flows northward and is joined by two other streams to form Three Creek. See the slideshow below. Click it to go to the album for a larger view.

One More Photosynth

Here is the view of the Three Sisters and Patterson's Elk Ranch in Sisters, Oregon--a view we see everyday going to and from town to our home.

Photosynth -- Sea of Lava

I made another short trek today. This time west of the homestead up Highway 242 to the Sea of Lava. Note Mount Washington in the background of this Synth. Be sure to look at the image full screen to see the whole effect at the world of PhotoSynth at: http://photosynth.net/Default.aspx Search for "242".

Enjoy!

Photosynth is Pretty Cool!

This Synthy was made with 207 pictures I took in about 5 minutes on the way to grocery shop this morning. Be sure to use the arrows to look all around and zoom the image. I look forward to bringing you other sights around Sisters soon...
