The Oak/Conifer Hills and an Old Friend.

A friend cruised through town and we took to the road. Mosier to The Dalles via the Old Columbia Highway through the Memaloose Hills and Rowena Plateau. Up over to the Tygh Valley and down to Maupin where we parted ways as he headed to Bend and i to Portland.
