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.
