Hi Martyn, nicely done. That stretch along Lake Abert and below Abert Rim is 
one of the most visually spectacular roadside in Oregon features. I have 
stopped there before, but I don't think I got a full five minutes without 
passing cars.

Funny thing though, the image you have on that page I recognize from the other 
side of the state - the view from the Neahkahnie Mountain cliffs overlooking 
the Pacific Ocean, the town of Manzanita, and the sand spit of Nehalem Bay:)
