The Unintended Experience

October 9, 2006

Happy Monday,
We hope you've all enjoyed Greg's "On the road with Oregon Bounty" segments. While his road trip may have ended, Oregon Bounty is certainly not over! In fact, you’ve got about eight weeks to experience first hand what makes Oregon taste so good, and meet the people and places that make it happen. Check our Bounty page for events happening all over the state. Just pick a region and click on "Harvest Festivals" or "Winery Events."

I also want to share a trip idea from my friend Stephen, who had an amazing time wandering the Dahlia fields with his family in Canby last Saturday.

The fields normally close at the end of September but with the great weather we’ve been experiencing (70’s and sunny skies), they’re open through the end of this week (call 800.410.6540 to confirm). Great excuse for taking the afternoon off! ~ Mo

Don't forget the unbelievably beautiful scenic byway, Highway 138 East. It starts in Roseburg and ends up at Diamond and/or Crater lake. The highway follows the North Umpqua River, one of the most beautiful rivers in the state, and winds its way through the Umpqua National forest to many pristine and marvelous high mountain lakes. The relatively undiscovered North Umpqua Trail is accessable at several well marked points along the highway.

Don't forget to bring your fly fishing pole as the North Umpqua is a world class fly fishing river! And if all that isn't enough, there is a covered bridge off Little River road plus almost twenty waterfalls along the highway AND a secluded hot springs to boot!

The fall colors are in full swing, the galleries are open, rustic lodging and quaint dining awaits, so don't forget to put the North Umpqua highway on your list of places to visit during Oregon Bounty days and anytime!
