Umpqua side

Willamette side

Couldn't pick them all...

The best huckleberry harvest ever.  Three of us picked over 4 gallons this afternoon in the Calapooya Mountains.  It was beautiful anyway at 5000 feet elevation overlooking the Willamette drainage on the one side of the ridge and the Umpqua drainage on the other. Then we found the huckleberries! First we were impressed with finding a great bush like this where we had been directed to go.  Then with some more exploration, we found a whole area of those bushes.  WOW!
