Backroads of Oregon - Day 1


On Saturday, August 28, 2010 my son, Christopher, daughter, Catherine and I traveled from Vancouver, WA through Sandy, Zigzag, Maupin, Madras, and Terrebonne to Redmond on Hwy 26 and Hwy 97. We stopped at Joe’s Donuts in Sandy, Oregon for donuts about 10:00 AM. We stopped at Safeway in Madras to purchase sandwiches and BBQ chips. We had a picnic lunch in the park at Madras. We had dinner at Shari’s Restaurant in South Redmond about 9:00 PM. We stayed the night in Room 308 at Sleep Inn, 1847 N. Hwy 97 in Redmond.

The highlights of the day were getting fresh donuts at Joe’s Donuts in Sandy; visiting Timberline Lodge at the 6,000 ft. level of the 11,235 ft. Mt. Hood to see the photos of the 1951 movie “Bend in the River” starring Jimmy Stewart and Julie Adams; and visiting Ogden Scenic Wayside Park to see the three bridges that cross the Crooked River Gorge. We found 12 caches and 3 benchmarks.
