The morning after Sarah's and Tom's wedding, Father Paul celebrated Mass for the family in David's and Shelia's garden at their home in Durham. Afterwards, D and She served a scrumptious brunch, continuing their run of amazing hospitality. Just before noon, Georgia, Tom and Ben embarked for David's and Shelia's country house in Sisters, arriving in the early afternoon to enjoy lunch and brews at the Three Creeks Brew Pub. The next day, Emmie, Gregg, Hannah, David and Shelia joined us and on consecutive days we played golf, first at the Glaze Meadow GC at Black Butte Ranch and then at Aspen Lakes GC. On Wednesday, Georgia and I drove back to Portland via Mount Hood to catch our flight back to Boston, ending two spectacular weeks in Oregon.

The damned Detriot Lake
Detroit Lake is situated over a historical road bed of the former Oregon Pacific Railroad. This route was built by Colonel T. Egenton Hogg as a proposed transcontinental railroad. Because of a lack of funding, the line terminated in Idanha, southeast of the lake. Idanha had rail service until the 1950s, when the track was removed for installation of the Detroit and Big Cliff reservoirs. Detroit Lake was created in 1953 after the completion of the dam. Part of the Willamette Valley Projects, the lake was intended primarily for flood control and power generation but has become one of the major recreation resources in western Oregon.

On the way to Sisters-Detroit Lake
Detroit Lake offers year round fishing as long as you fish in still water and not in or near the rivers and streams. It is one of 32 lakes federally designated for recreation, managed by the United States Forest Service.The lake serves many purposes including flood control, water conservation, and recreation. At low pool, it has a surface elevation of 1,450 feet; at the full pool season—typically May 1 to September 1—it can raise up to 119 feet to a water elevation of 1,569 feet. There are many camping and recreation opportunities at Detroit Lake. In 2009, a new winter boat ramp was constructed, making it possible to launch a boat safely during the winter months when other ramps are on dry ground.

On the way to Sisters-Mount Washington, Oregon
Mount Washington is a deeply eroded shield volcano in the Cascade Range of Oregon. The mountain dates to the Late Pleistocene. However, it does have a line of basaltic andesite spatter cones on its northeast flank which are approximately 1,330 years old according to carbon dating. The main peak is a volcanic plug that was heavily eroded by glaciers in the last ice age
