Most viewed - Bend, Oregon - High Desert Museum

Lakeside Shelter6 viewsNorthern Paiute campground, first stop in the Spirit of the West exhibit.

Fort Nez Perce6 viewsScots officers, French Canadian and Iroquois fur trappers manned the fort, which was named for what was presumably the dominant local Native American tribe, upon whose lands the fort was encroaching.

Hudson's Bay Co. Fur Trapper Camp6 viewsNote the Hudson's Bay Company flag at the left. For a while there was doubt about whether the Oregon Territory would become part of Canada or the USA. This was resolved by the USA threatening to invade Canada and seize everything up to 54 degrees and forty minutes north, then making the Canadians accept a "compromise" whereby the Americans got everything they really wanted in the first place.

Pet Haven6 viewsThe Museum kindly provides a shaded area with kennels for visitors to safely put up their pets while touring the Museum.

Hard-Rock Mine5 viewsNot a cafe.

A parking place for Sonja4 viewsAnother view of the house front, with our Subaru Red Sonja parked next to it behind Chuck's truck.

Desert Diorama4 viewsPart of the Spirit of the West exhibit, which offers a walk through time, beginning with a stroll past a Northern Paiute shelter and a fur trapper’s camp, continuing through a Hudson’s Bay Company fort, past an Oregon Trail wagon, through a hard rock mine, then a settler’s cabin and finally the boomtown of Silver City. Warning: Some of the captions for the pictures feature tongue-in-cheek, politically incorrect comments which are made in a spirit of fun and not intended to be taken seriously but which some people will find insensitive, outrageous, and offensive. Persons of tender sensitivities on ethnic, environmental, or animal rights issues may want to skip this section. In other words, if you don't have an easygoing sense of humor, bugger off.

The Cowboys are the Indians4 viewsI know, they're not Indians, they're Native Americans. Regardless, many of them went into the ranching business and became rather successful at it.

Deja vu all over again4 viewsThe nice lady guides Bigelow back around to the ramp so he can do his routine all over again.

Poking along4 viewsPokey the Porcupine ambles casually onto the stage, slouching his ungainly way toward his appointed post.

Entry portal4 viewsView of the front entrance to the Museum (the indoor part), guarded by a large bronze stag.

The Real Mattox Residence3 viewsChuck and Elouise Mattox's exquisite house in Bend, Oregon. Note the weeping cedar tree just to the right of center - one of my favorite features of the property.
