Sadly, tickets sold out so fast this year I couldn't get any for that day. :( I will get to see Steve Earle and Sarah McClachlan though.Lisa Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08894424591692303381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28284097.post-3304482968565141792011-06-03T13:17:53.940-06:002011-06-03T13:17:53.940-06:00You know Colin Meloy from the Decemberists is from...You know Colin Meloy from the Decemberists is from Montana?Sean Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28284097.post-7312646585828969652011-06-03T10:07:20.455-06:002011-06-03T10:07:20.455-06:00Sounds like a great trip, and a nice post as usual...Sounds like a great trip, and a nice post as usual.

If I ever get the chance to see them Live I certainly will take it. <br /><br />We drove out to the coast for a music festival last year....saw my first California quail and was giddy. I wish I had been able to snap a photo.<br /><br />R y G are unbelievable.

The Deschutes is pretty good fishing at times; I've caught browns in the stretch in your picture. If you hang around there, check the view from Pilot Butte, on the south end of Bend. When you look east, remember that when I graduated from BHS, there were no houses to the east. Check out Drake Park, in the middle of town, Mirror Pond, where I caught a lot of fish in the late '50's. And try the Pine Tavern for dinner. <br />Cheers,<br />MikeShould Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18400586203204886095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28284097.post-72810460058125562812011-05-31T17:04:02.394-06:002011-05-31T17:04:02.394-06:00The Decemberists are also somewhat reminiscent of ...The Decemberists are also somewhat reminiscent of Mountain Moongrass.
