Moderator YamaHead Posted January 12, 2006 Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2006 Departed last Saturday for Prineville where my brother lives....as I needed to be in Bend on Monday for a job interview. My timing wasn't bad as I was trying to dodge some snow showers that were occurring @ the pass on Hwy 26. Shoulda seen the looks I got from some punk-ass SnowBoarders in the parking lot of Mt. Hood SkiBowl as I 2-Wheeled through in the snow. I then went just up the road to Gov't Camp to top off the tank, where the pump-jockey referred to me as the StuntMan ..... I then forged on through the wet snow that fortunately wasn't sticking too well to the tarmac. Made it through the pass & out onto the plateau that leads across the Warm Springs Indian Rez. Pulled over @ Mill Creek for a stretch & to finally get some pics of this beautiful narrow, deep, rugged canyon....especially in the winter ..... Even got 1 of the underside of Hwy26....as I needed to duck outta site to take a piss! ..... Then made it down the next valley into the thriving Metropolis of Warm Springs Oregon ..... The Rainbow Market is where I always make Beer runs to when I'm visiting the Ka-Nee-Tah resort as they DON'T sell beer on the Rez, but they DO sell hard liqour ...a popular hang-out for all the local Drunk Indians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted January 12, 2006 Author Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2006 Finally made it to Prineville where I got up Sunday morning & went outside to get my lungs filled up with some seriously clean, crisp air. This is what my brother see's from his living room window ...... My Bro & I then went into Bend to pinpoint the location of the Engineering office where I had the Interview on Monday. After we got back he suggested that we take a spin up into the Ochoco Mtn's that are literally only 10 mins away from his place. He was leading the way with his DR650, but as the snow got deeper, he realised just how top heavy that beast can be.....so he backed off his pace & let me lead till we decided to turn around here as we were getting pretty cold by this point..... Then went back to his place, warmed up & then did some skeet shooting right on his property.....Great Fun! It sure must be nice to live on a 10 acre spread @ 4,100ft.......His 11yr. old best friend sure loves it..... Unfortunately, I found out today that I DIDN'T get the job .....The owner told me IF I was already living there, I woulda had it for sure. I'm still gonna keep trying to land some work over there though, as I'm totally sick of this soggy Sh*thole of a town that I've been living in all my life! I wanna move to Central Oregon & never leave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scenery is pretty impressive as well! What a view to look at from the window! Sorry it wasn't more succesful in terms of the job but hang on in there as they say and something will turn up.
