Diamond Lake Wednesday Today was the rafting trip! We left the campsite at 9:00 to make the 45 minute trip down the 138 to the rafting ‘put in’ spot on the North Umpqua. The weather was iffy, but ended up perfect. I am currently a nice tan/burn. We started off as 2 of 3 people in the pilot boat, where the guide did the majority of the rowing.. Dan and I just assisted where...
Sunday afternoon in Bend, OR
Bend has changed A LOT since I was here… It’s really lovely and very SLO-like downtown. We also stopped at the gorge where Dan Trout’s dog committed suicide…
We won’t have internet available until Thursday (in Eugene), so more pics then!!
The weather is perfect, about 77….
