Lake Billy Chinook

This time of the year the Lake is empty but if it was summer you would see boats as far as you could.
Wow what a pretty sight, If you are ever traveling from Mt. Hood to Bend take the turn that says Pelton Dam. You get to see a working Dam that is closed off probably due to 9/11 but you can still view most of it. If you continue on down the road you come to this really cool camp ground and then a park both are positioned up on the rock ledge looking down onto the water, well you would have to see it to understand. Continuing on down the road you have the view I am showing you here in these photos. After a while you will end up in Culver, Oregon. This town reminds of where I grew up in Warden, Washington, so every now and then I like to travel though this town just for that feeling, there really isn't anywhere to stop in Culver but then again there really isn't anywhere to stop in Warden either.
This Juniper tree was loaded with juniper berries so I just had to take a photo to show. If you look off in the distance in this photo we are still up pretty high and the view is amazing..

Wow, that does look like a cool spot! I've noticed a lot of juniper trees that are just covered in berries lately. I wonder why.
