In the late mid '70s I did a 1000 mile tour of Oregon with some friends from Eugene. We took dirt and gravel roads from Crescent Lake to Crater Lake in order to avoid a couple of the highways that were heavily traveled with logging trucks. Crater Lake was amazing, the real fun was the almost 80 mile downhill into Roseburg, Oregon the next day. I've been slowly scanning my slide archives, still trying to find the ones of Crater lake and the dirt roads. I did find some of the gravel grinding we did on the way to Crater Lake and elsewhere on the tour. Here's a link to prove it... http://www.flickr.com/photos/billweaverphoto/sets/72157630138429316/
