Redmond, Oregon
My greatgrandfather settled our family in Central Oregon. I was born there.
The pic is Mt. Jefferson of the Cascade Range. The canyon in the mid pic is the Deschutes River, the canyon in the lower portion is the Crooked River. My Grandpa Davidson's ranch was about 10 miles south of here. This is looking west.
I love Texas, it is my home. I got here when I was ten. I have 6 grandchildren, all native born Texans and I am proud. But I have so many good memories of those short little ten years. Family reunions every year, Cub Scouts, 4-H, rainbow trout, mosquitoes in a snow bank in the mts. in July!
My dad visited about 5 years ago. He told me not to go back. Said I wouldn't like it. Might not, too many people. But I sure would like to smell it again.
