Some cool Cascade Lakes photos for you sweltering East Coasters (Dial-Up Warning)

[DemoTex]

Mallard Marsh with Mt. Bachelor in the distance


Little Cultus Lake


The Devil's Lake tent sites were still closed last week due to snow pack. Devil's is my favorite Cascade lake (and Sparks Lake too), because they are mainly kayak and canoe water.

Sparks Lake with the South Sister in the distance.


Snow melt from the South Sister.


A snowbow tries to form behind Cinder Cone Butte (last week).

Sunset yesterday


Mt. Jefferson (80 miles to my NW) about 30 minutes after sunset yesterday.

1. Beeeeyooootiful.. Is Nick sporting some gray hairs? or just dirt?

:rofl:

[DemoTex]

5. A little of both!

:hi:

[gratuitous]

2. THERE's your DemoTex

And let's have no more loose talk about the "boonies" of Oregon. There are about 49 states that wish they had this kind of scenery.

3. wow, that's quite a sunset

:kick:

7. Nick!

What a beauty! :P

[Warpy]

8. Thanks for some new desktop wallpaper

I really look forward to your postings. It was especially nice to see clear, cold water with no oil on it.

9. I'm sweltering up here in Seattle so I gate crashed and took advantage -- beautiful~

I'm not sure I'd ever want to go 'home'. :hi:

[RT Atlanta]

10. Awesome!

Thank you. I am SOOOOO jealous too. I lived in Seattle in the mid 90s and used to get outdoors in the mountains frequently - I miss this kind of view.

Best wishes to you (and hope the "visitor" that spooked your dog doesnt show up again). 'Squatch?

11. You got that sweltering right...

I have been hot as hell!:rofl:

[zeemike]

12. Nick looks ready to go.

That dog's face has so much charicter....he must be a lot of fun to have around.
Thanks for the lovely pictures.

[MerryBlooms]

13. You capture the majestic beauty of my state, so very well

Thank you for all the photo updates. I love my state and seeing your pics shared with the world makes me smile.
Nick is certainly a handsome fella and I bet he's having a great time.

14. Thanks, Demo, we needed that!

[One Voice]

15. WOW

Thank you DemoTex for the beautiful pics!
I might steal one for my background if it's ok with you!
Just, Wow.
:yourock:

[DemoTex]

22. Help yourself!

Enjoy.

[frylock]

23. Now I'm thirsty. LOL

What a handsome pup!

[Skip Intro]

24. Beautiful. Nick too. Thanks.

[WillyT]

25. Beautiful Work !!! - K & R !!!

:applause:

:kick:

[Aristus]

26. Thanks for the beautiful photos, Mac.

But I'm sweltering up here in Puyallup, Washington, too...

[MilesColtrane]

27. i see that the Greys didn't get you due to Nick's warning yesterday.

Good puppy dog!

[DemoTex]

28. Something bad happened, and I can't figure it out.

Nick will not descend the lookout steps without me now. Today was too crazy, with lightning fires on the Cascade side, to go looking for tracks, but maybe tomorrow I can go down early and take a look-see.

[MilesColtrane]

29. Make sure you're packing.

I was kidding about the Greys, Bigfoot, and Chupacabra. There are certainly much scarier things out there.

[DemoTex]

30. I can't. I'm not an Oregon resident.

I made a mistake by not buying a long rifle in SC. I went to buy an AR-22 in Bend when I first got here and got the bad news.

But someone out here has offered me a rifle. I'll now take him up on that offer.

[KT2000]

31. Breathtaking!

they area all beautiful but the sunset pics are stunning.
Thanks for posting them.

[jimlup]

32. I'm so jealous!

I've been out to the cascades the last two summers but won't make it out this summer. I'll have to settle for Colorado in August (which will be wonderful!).

I especially like the sunrise/set photos! Awesome!

[XOKCowboy]

33. Mmmmmmmm Looks fishy and I mean that in a good way...

Makes me want to pack my float tube and fly rod and head up that way!

Beautiful pics DemoTex. Love the sunsets.
