About this ebook

Not Another Travel Guide (NATG) takes you on a three day, two night slice through North Central Oregon.

Stops include Bend, Pendleton, Glass Buttes, Peter S. Ogden View Point with the Crooked River, plus many others. This trip is a combination of high-octane NATG and the more in-depth spend-a-little-time off the beaten path NATG through the rolling hills over The Dalles (yes, the "The" is not only capitalized, but a required part of the city name. What do you expect from a state where the residents aren't allowed to pump their own gas? - Sorry, Oregon, I couldn't resist the stab, especially after being in Bend at 3:30AM and unable to put gas in the car) down through the beautiful basalt plains before a hook through the central plateaus to angle up through Malhuer National Forest to our pandering of Pendleton.

From the Columbia River to the Deschutes River across seasonally parched (but not during our season - this is *still* a NATG book) sage plateau to the swollen Umatilla River and back to rolling on with the Columbia puddle along, you'll travel with us through over two hundred images. Where we manage to find and explore every official rest stop and toilet along the way, with our usual 'construction blues' interludes throughout... even upon welcoming us back to Washington.

So settle in to enjoy another visual feast that you can pass-off as your own virtual vacation, warts and all.

The short of it: over-educated, unemployed, and annoying with a camera. Quite possibly a dangerous combination.The long of it:I've been snapping pictures for over a quarter-of-a-century on equipment ranging from a Pentax k1000 to Canon SX700hs - but nothing fancier. In fact, after they retired my Kodachrome 64 film, I hung up the 'real cameras' and settled for "digital pocket snappers." It seems ninety percent of the challenge to taking pictures is to remember your camera (would seem obvious, wouldn't it? But look around at the folks with large, fancy cameras - no wonder they claim the phone-based lens will be the death of real photography). So I do my part and pack it almost everywhere.I was a latecomer to photography, though, so I had time to grow up in many different parts of the country with my formative stage in the South, but junior high and onward in the Pacific Northwest. The last set of initials after my name tacked on by the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine - making the 'highest degree attained' line of the survey read Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.I still live in the state of Washington with my lovely wife of over two decades who continues to be an invaluable accomplice. For any hazard I manage to avoid, our son does his best to ensure we'll see an early grave.Having spent a little time teaching, I've grown to miss a captive audience to inflict my photography upon, so thank you Smashwords for providing me a forum for dispersing my imagery pain to be loosed upon the world.
