A mellow place along the banks of the beautiful Metolius River at the eastern foot of the Cascade Mountains near Bend in Central Oregon. Gordon has a long history with this river and it’s one of our favorite places anywhere.
Central Oregon’s Metolius River flows mysteriously from the base of a cinder cone named Black Butte and meanders through meadow and forest for 25 miles, before arriving at Lake Billy Chinook reservoir. Along the way it provides lovely scenery in this dry Cascade Mountain landscape. The bottom photo shows a waterwheel which provides water to a cabin formerly owned by our family for 40 years.
