We're in Oregon !!

I think this will be the last leg of our adventure.  We got here on June 11th and on the 15th, found an apartment to rent for 3 months.  It is in Beaverton, which is 10 miles SW of Portland.  It was unfurnished, so we had to rent everything: furniture, linens, kitchen and bathroom stuff.  Furniture rental companies such as Cort do rent all that stuff, so it is not as bad as it sounds.  They deliver everything, set it up and take it away when we are done.
There will be more posts from Oregon; I decided to give you a small first sample from the Beaver State.

The 3 Sisters. From L to R: South Sister, Middle Sister and North Sister (all are just over 10,000').  They are about 15 miles SW of Sisters, a small town about 100 miles SE ofPortland.

Mt.Washington (7,794').  It is about 15 miles west of Sisters.

Haystack Rock.  This is in the coastal town of Cannon Beach.  It is probably the most photographed feature in Oregon.

Looking up the other way from Haystack Rock.

Washington Park.  This is in downtown Portland.  Its nickname is the 'City of Roses,' so why not visit the rose gardens that made the city famous.  And the next 5 photos as well.

 




Downtown Portland with Mt. Hood in the background.

More of downtown with Mt. St.Helens to the right (about 55 miles N) and faintly to the left  of Mt. St. Helens is Mt. Rainier (about 100 miles N and the tallest mountain in the continental US at 14,411').
