Here's a little note from the innkeepers of the Bronze Antler Bed & Breakfast in Joseph, Oregon (almost into Idaho it's so far east & north in Oregon):
If you're a guy and into wildlife, you might just want the 2012 Wallowa Mountain Quilters Guild raffle quilt for your bed or as a blanket on the leather couch in your den. And the raffle's still on until June 9, 2012, so buy your tickets now! $1 per ticket or 6 for $5--and you can order them through the mail too. This year's quilt is a Montana Log Cabin style with black silhouettes of birds, moose, deer, foxes and other wildlife. Very masculine and very striking.
Gee, might even be a good idea to order some tickets and win this beautiful quilt to give as a present to that man who has everything. . .

Geotourism is a great way to see the United States. Keith Riggs at the US Department of Agriculture recently posted a really good blog post about touring through Northern California and Southern Oregon on the national Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway. The route runs from Lake Almanor in Northern California to Crater Lake in Southern Oregon, passing through seven national forests along the way. Riggs writes:
Along this journey from volcano to volcano you’ll find opportunities for adventure, exploration, communion with nature and an appreciation for the culture and history of the region. You’ll also find residents eager to share the beauty and mystery of this land that is dotted with evidence of an eruptive past.
We'd like to make sure you know about some of the residents along the way--the innkeepers of Southern Oregon bed and breakfasts ready and eager to host you as you explore the volcanic region of Southern Oregon.
You'll find six Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild members in Southern Oregon here on the OBBG website. Each one is a different lodging experience, but all are inspected and approved members of the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild.
Lonesome Duck Ranch and Resort is a close 35 minutes to Crater Lake in the Chiloquin area and offers hiking, flyfishing, birding, or just relaxing on the porch.
