\"lakesSign.jpg\"<\/span>Well, it’s been a while since the last post on my trip to the States in August, but I’m still enjoying sorting through the several hundred pictures I took while I was there.  So, it’s time for the sequel to ‘Great Scott’<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Having had such an amazing time at Crater Lake, Shirls and I decided that we needed to head back towards Portland via the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway.  Yet again, the scenery of Oregon County did not disappoint…<\/p>\n


\n\"sparksDeer.jpg\"<\/a><\/span>We turned off the main highway to Bend at La Pine after stopping for a few well needed refreshments, and after a short while took a break at Crane Prairie Reservoir.  I was hoping to see Osprey here – a rarity in the UK, but quite common in Oregon.  Unfortunately they weren’t to be seen on this occasion, but I really wouldn’t have spent any time thinking about that at all, if I new of the experience I was to have in another couple of days time – but that’s for another post   \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The highlight of the day was definitely our stop at Sparks Lake.  By this stage we were two-thirds of the way around the Cascade Lakes Highway, and I was beginning to worry that we weren’t going to have any really amazing views.  Thankfully I was wrong, and as the afternoon drew to a close, we stood on the southern banks of the lake, looking towards South Sister and Brokentop Mountains.  Even the wildlife had stopped to take in the view.<\/p>\n

Stunning.<\/p>\n
