SkyWatch Friday: Terrebone to Madras

In June, on our way to Washington, I took these pictures out the window of the scenery from Terrebone to Madras, on HWY 97 in Central Oregon.  I haven't been that way since, but recently wildfires burned for three plus weeks in this very area.  I'm not sure if the land looks the same from the highway or not, but it was very pretty when we went through.  Several times this week, this very highway was closed a few miles north, on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation  due to a still raging wildfire.

Madras, Oregon.  The city of thrift shops, for one thing.  I've never seen so many in one place.

Wow! What more can I say? That is God's country for sure. I'd love to spend some time in that area and do some exploring. You are fortunate to be where you are.

Hi Kathy, these place is beautiful. I see rocks look like bones on the side of the mountain or hill is that why this place is called Terrebone? Looks like the mountain is the back of a dinosaur, pretty cool!

Are you looking for info about Tyler Matthews?

Check this stuff out below:

The 2012 Army All-American Day Event


Photo Source: Nike "The Opening Brochure" Pages 2 and 3
During the week of July 5-9, 2011, Cary and I were privileged to attend "The Opening", watching quarterback grandson Tyler Matthews (#43 the first day, and #15 on game days) play with 150 of the best high school football players in the United States. The event was held at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. I hope that you enjoy the pictures ... some are better photos than others, but I tried to capture as many kids as I could.

There are approximately 500 photos in these slide shows. They are of the players, the fans, our family and everybody/everything that caught my eye. They are in chronological order. No names are on the pictures, even if I do know who people were.

As time permits, I will also be writing blog posts about my experience as a spectator. Since I still have a lot to learn about football and this is not a sports blog, I'll write some human interest stories as seen through my eyes. That said, Tyler Matthews, YOU ROCK!!!!
