“The greatest gift of life on the mountain is time. Time to think or not think, read or not read, scribble or not scribble — to sleep and cook and walk in the woods, to sit and stare at the shapes of the hills.” Philip Connors
The Crooked River is a tailwater fishery SE of Prineville, Oregon. One spot we frequently camped at was below Chimney Rock along the river. Great fly fishing and usually quite private. This image is from 1991.

As an aside, I have recently been posting images taken by family members (son’s, nieces, brother in law, granddaughter, daughter & friends). I enjoy sharing their visions, which seem rooted in the outdoors (gardening, camping, hiking). The image above is from my niece, Monet of her sister (Lauren) & significant other (Zach) in Central Oregon camping.
