2. 'Catgut Trio' Did you see them perform or just take the pic?

I love chamber music.

I love beer too. Did you go to that bar above the theater?

9. I missed the "Catgut Trio" concert.

I love chamber music, too. I did not know about the concert until I saw the marquee at about 9 pm Tuesday night. Nor did I know about the bar above the Tower. Bend: so many bars, so little time!

L to R:

South Sister, Broken Top, Middle Sister, Little Brother, North Sister.

What's in the foreground? Pine Mountain?

Congratulations on completion of a successful fire suppression season and happy travels home to you and Nick.

8. That is Lowullo Butte in the foreground.

Lowullo Butte is on the northeast flank of the Newberry Volcano. Lowullo's lonesome pines fit perfectly into the notch between South Sister and Broken Top.
