Visit my photo pages. I put in some views of trips I have been taking with Churches and Friends. Get a little taste the county I spent most of my life in here in Oregon. I also slipped in Coos County picture of Charleston which is very similar to Winchester which is just down the road and is in Douglas Co.
Douglas County runs from the ocean in Winchester Bay area through the Coastal Range to the Cascade Mountains. {{21316}}Diamond Lake is the beginning along with many small lakes and under ground streams to form the Umpqua River. This river continues to the Ocean and forms Douglas Co. {{20180}}
This was the home of the Umpqua Indians. These Indians fished the many streams and hunted the bear,deer, couger, foxes and many other wild life that live in the Coastal and Cascade Mountains. There are many ritual grounds and cave drawings that give us a glimps of their past activities in the area.
