My spirit is drawn to the Pacific Northwest. I lived, as a youth, in the Seattle area with my grandparents and loved the clear cool climate. Each time I return to the region I feel my soul rejuvenated. Maybe it's the pine trees, or maybe it's the lack of people. There is something about this area that leaves me feeling that this is where I belong.      Photo to left: Cape Blanco Lighthouse, highest in elevation lighthouse in Oregon at 250 feet above sea level. Photographed in 1995

The Crags, pictured to the left, are located in Northern California near the dormant volcano, Mount Shasta.

Lake Shasta, photographed in August of 1985, with the lake level down approximately 300'. (almost 100 meters)  Lake Shasta is the source of the Sacramento River, which is the source of most of the drinking water for southern California.

In our next page wee have another panorama of Crater Lake and we will visit some coastal rivers and the Oregon Coast, And in later pages we will see a lumber mill in Beaverton Oregon, a waterfall along the Columbia River, a section on the bridges of the Pacific Northwest, as well as more road photos.
