Devil’s Chain Sunset
View of the sun setting behind part of the Devil’s Chain from Soda Creek Campground (September 2023)
The Devil’s Chain is one of the youngest mountains you will ever encounter. These volcanic, rhyolite lava domes and flows are only 2,000 years old. Nearby, Mount Bachelor is only 6X older. The Blue Mountains in Northeast Oregon, on the other hand, are 50,000X as old!

Petersen Rock Garden – Swan boat (March 2021)
I could find only two photos on the internet of this boat in operation–both appeared to be from the 1960s or early 1970s. Maybe this beauty had been dry docked for 50 years when I took the photo almost five years ago. Actually the wood and paint are much newer than that so maybe it had been repurposed in the fairly recent past. I don’t think the ponds/lagoon had water for about a decade until new owners took over in 2023. I haven’t been back to see the improvements.
