    3-day Trip to Oregon 2009.5

    关键词:三天  1600mile
     
    摘要,细节周末补充。
     
    感谢同去的Y同学,GH师弟, XH师姐,和我一起开着轰鸣的Altima在山路上飞奔。。。
     
    Oregon是California北边靠西太平洋的一个州,以出产木材而闻名,森林覆盖率和木材保有率在美国都名列前茅,出名的风景点有Crater Lake National Park和Pacific Coast Scenic Drive. 我们三天的出行顺序是Davis->Medford->Crater Lake->Bend->Painted Hills->Portland->Cannon Beach->Florence->Redding->Davis.一路上经历美景与风险无数,写来下权当纪念。
     
    Day 1 Davis->Medford->Crater Lake->Bend
    这一天路程有550mile,而且有一半左右是山路,早上八点从Davis出发,十二点左右到达三百迈左右的Medford,路上在Redding附近的I5公路上可以拍到巍峨的Shasta雪山,非常壮观。 离开Medford后去Crater Lake山路整条都是scenic driveway, 会经过一个地方叫做eagle point, 因为白头老鹰而出名。开车的时候看到一只白头老鹰爪子上抓了一只兔子低低的飞过,不过当时车里大家都把相机放在后备箱里,错过了。。。
    Crater Lake是火山爆发形成的火山湖,湖边山顶终年积雪,每年七月到九月才是全部开放,可以去湖上划船。我们去的时候,不少房子包括visitor center都全部埋在雪里,我们三个无聊的人顺着厚厚的积雪爬上屋顶,一举圆了儿时上房揭瓦的梦想~~~闲话不提,Crater Lake湖水非常之蓝,宝石一样的颜色,是和yellow stone,yosemite一起最早成立的几个national park.不管看湖看山还是看雪都蛮有意思的。
    看完Crater Lake去晚上住的Bend,路上雨过刚晴,草原上好大的一个彩虹,大家摆弄相机了半天,都是拍不到全部,欣赏了一阵后心满意足的走了,呵呵。晚上七点半到达旅馆。
     
    Day 2 Bend->Painted Hills->Portland->Cannon Beach->Florence
    第二天Y同学接过车开了500迈,因为去painted hills绕路的缘故取消了去columbia river gorge玩的计划。
    早上七点就爬了起来,开到painted hills刚好八点半,只见远远的山头像穿了条纹T恤一样,五颜六色的,煞是好看。而且都光秃秃的,只有最上面长草,哈哈哈。我们上去hiking了一阵,路边的野花五颜六色,迷人眼目,给了N多特写,感叹下没有带libo同学来,满足下他想看野花的愿望。
    中午穿过一个印第安保留地去Portland吃饭,经过three sisters雪山还有Mt hood雪山,都是非常壮观,如果不是在阿拉斯加玩过,我估计也会在车里大声叫着跳起来了。。。感叹下自己老了。。。附带说一句,印第安保留地里面有很多金雕,喜欢看的同学要带望远镜或者长焦镜头去。当地还有hotspring,非常适合腐败~
    下午到达cannon beach,偷拍无数~喀喀喀,再到newport灯塔,咔咔咔,最后开去florence.总结下oregon的海岸线总体上来比california漂亮,可是没有特别出彩的地方,比著名的CA1要稍微差一点,说oregon海岸线好的多半是从washington州过去的,所以如果加州去过CA1的同学,个人不推荐再去。
     
    Day 3 Florence->Redding->Davis
    第三天我重新接过altima, 开了550mile, 一路风景无数。
    首先是florence往南的sand tune national creation area, 然后是38号county road上的Elk viewpoint,可以看鹿和白头海雕,还有是依山傍水美丽的scottsburg小镇,最后是壮观的shasta雪山全景。
     
    感受:
    1。Oregon警察比California警察更恐怖,你在路上开着,旁边随便一个什么车,pickup,minivan,甚至是Uhaul都有可能突然拿着一个警灯出来把你pull over了。。。
    2。开山路真累啊,特别是像我这样上山下山都是裸奔不用刹车的人,当时不晕,开完自己就晕了。。。
    3。不出名的景点往往比出名的景点更值得去,比如我们最后一天偶然路过的小镇scottsburg,就比monterey 17mile漂亮的多。(类似的例子有Bryce Canyon vs Grand Canyon)
