You guys are blessed with all that WATER. We down here in So Cal have very little and fire warnings all the time

No wonder I loved being up there in the NW so much.

Thanks Neal for the pic of Cripple Creek and John also. Really great picts and the line up of your busses is a real keeper. Elwood would have loved being all blue and white and wet with ya

Its like watching a romance chick flick for me

Thanks for sharing

Yes this was a great campout! What a fun bunch 'o campers! Great tunes you guys played in the evening around the campfire. Thanx!

An awesome area and a great hike along the "loop" made for a fun Saturday afternoon in the sun too. Hammie, tell us again why it's a loop...:)

Great food too. Mmmmmmm....... Jambalaya, fresh cornbread, coleslaw, pineapple upside down cake, a pot roast and good beer! Hot coffee in the morning was a neccessity though. Brrr it got cold on Saturday night.

Thank you to everyone involved. It was so nice to get to know you better.

We are looking forward to the next event......Nehalem Bay?

Rick and Carman

Looks like a great time! I thought about you guys the whole time I was cleaning and figured I'd better clean real good to make up for NOT going.

We missed you too Paige. There were those who implied that it was the weather that kept you home.

Looks like I'm gonna hafta cut someone!

I couldn't ignore the lack of creative space in my home...I seized the opportunity for multiple days off from work with no other obligations to unpack, clean, organize and open up space to make my hula hoops.
I know, I sound like a grown-up.

A few pix and words:

Saturday morning I went out for a walk by myself.

Quiet.

splashes of color

Morning Meadow

Didn't see a dern thing or even fresh sign but I was still hopefull

The Saturday hike was great. A nice steady climb past beautiful glades and ponds.

I call this one "Please don't shoot, we're just bus pilots...."

Splashes of color through the dappled light....

Even the dappled light was stark...

Water is peaceful most times...

Can you see my friends?...

The Wagon...

The Crew...

L to R-Gypsie (Stephan), FlyawayDesigns(Rick and Carmen), LiveOnJG (John), JustGimmeeCoffee(Barry), DeschutesTrout(Mark), Hambone (Bob), Ruckman101(Neal), Westy78 (Jasan).

Heading home

The Mule Train...

Great getaway with some great folk. Nice to camp with Rick and Carmen. Good to see John and Mark. Was bummed it was so cold it made playing painful. Was glad I spent some quality time with my dutch oven this weekend. Upside down cake. Gypsie hash and eggs. MMMMmmmgood...
Jambalaya, pot roast, chocolate cake, elk sausage, good beer, good spirits, great company.

Can't wait for the next one.
