Pic of the Day - Page 15

Thanks for posting the great photo, W&G.

United States President Teddy Roosevelt once made the comment that Western American scenery "bankrupts the English language." He was correct; even photographs can't do justice to the majestic scenery of the American West.

Here's a photograph of the headwaters of the Snake River, with the majestic Teton Range in the background.

OMG is that a beautiful pic, Spud. The Zong looks right at home there. My end of the Snake, where it empties into the Columbia, is not quite as pretty.

Thank you, Doc.

That photograph makes me want to go fishing, and I'm not even a fisherman!

LOL. If you like that watch this almost disastrous video of my cherokee going down a ledge...if you watch the spare tire on the roof you'll see the jeep start to settle to the side...but I wasnt going down like that so I gave it a little blip of the throttle, then a lesson in weight transfer...turn down the volume though...my wife yells ALOT (first part terror, second part cheer)...video of the day?

Wow. Was that Hemlock yesterday?

Jim · 12-12-2010, 12:35 PM

Yeah, that was Hemlock, looking towards Harison from the green chairlift. You can see where the snow line is on the distant mountains.

Hwy 14 in Washington about an hour east of Portland. Early 2000's. I remember taking it because in person you could see the top of Mt. Hood sticking out in the sky, but the camera didn't pick it up. I seldom took hwy14 but this was after the time when you couldn't just buy an Oregon plate for the year and instead had to report and pay all miles in Oregon per trip. Anyway, pretty (in person) but not as majestic as the Teton shot from Spud.

Hey that's about an hour away from me!
