After working a graveyard shift I ran by the house and picked up my girlfriend and we headed up to our property to watch ground be broken for our house.
From Woodland we headed up to Timberline Lodge. From Government camp we took NF 2645 to the lodge which criss-crosses numerous ski runs.
I took the opportunity at Timberline to do something that's been long over due.
All that proposing made me hungry so we stopped into Charlies for a drink and a wonderful burger. After lunch we drove the Old Barlow Road, The route from the 35 is closed due to bridge work so we had to go to to the 43. Then we began our search for the perfect camp site which took us past clear lake and little crater lake.
Finally we found a site on Timothy Lake
After breakfast we headed south down the 42 to the 4260 which took us into the Warm springs reservation. Eventually this led us back to the 42 to the 110. On the 110 somehow I managed to get a whole in a sidewall. Just so happened that where I stopped to change the tire was in the middle of a bee swarm. so a 15 minute tire change took 45 minutes of dodging bees. We even had to tie the garbage bag to the back because it was full of bees. Once we were back on the road we fallowed the 110 to the 4220. This took us by Olallie Lake as well as numerous smaller lakes and streams.
Past Olallie lake The 4220 gets pretty rough, and was also one of the more scenic roads we drove on our trip.
From the 4220 we hopped on the 46 which took us into the Willamette National Forest.
We took the 46 down to Detroit lake where we camped. The next morning we Ate at Cedars, then refilled fuel, ice and beer in Detroit.
