used our self timer on the guard rail to capture this shot of us on route

 With
the sage and scrub that create dimension to the high desert, the vistas
of Mt. Jefferson and the Three Sisters were spectacular. |
|
The change of scenery from this morning to this afternoon was drastic; from cool lush, green forests to hot, dry, high desert region of central Oregon. |

Ka-Nee-Ta is an Indian Casino and Resort. We spent our complementary $3 enticer... and almost walked away ahead. |

This
recumbant bike, ridden by Charlie is one of 4 in our group.It can descend
quickly, but going up a hill requires extra effort!
The
vista were so incredible, many forgot about the climb to get there. 
Clark,
an Oregonian, is very familar with many roads we have traveled thus far.
