Oregon photos: 2004
Click on the small picture to see a larger, more detailed version. I
toured Oregon in September 2004. The weather was cloudy and/or rainy
a lot, so many of the pictures were of only so-so quality. The trip
however was very enjoyable and was led by Jan Hansen (dba
Otus Asio Tours
otusasiotours@bellsouth.net
). Jan leads a variety of
trips, all of which I would recommend.
