A hike back to Jawbone Flats

[RomanJohnston]

Opal creek is still giving up things to take pictures of. Hiked back through the "ancient forest" as they call it. Old growth.

Hope your all having a wonderful day.

Stunning pictures. They really make me homesick for the Pacific NW where I lived a long time ago.

Mmmm. Pretty. I've been on short vacations to several parts of Oregon a number of times, and I really love the place. What part of the state is Opal Creek in?

Great series Roman, I especially like #3!

PS: We have a Jawbone Flat in CA too, but it is bleak and barren.
