| The RV when we got it from Cruise America. It left a lot to be desired in terms of cleanliness. |   At Milo McIver State Park in Oregon - the fish hatchery | We also found a geocache around the hatchery |   Would have been a great place for kayaking down the river! | At the horse camp |   Kenny's first night in the table-turned-bed. | Along the Clackamas river, there were these interesting formations, what I thought were rocks, but were actually clay. |     Roasting marshmallows - not sure if this one is edible anymore! | Along the Riverside Recreation Trail, close to Ripplebrook. I was not at all impressed with the signage for this trail, which was supposed to be well maintained. |     One bonus - the kids found some great sticks, that they kept for the whole trip | At Detroit Lake State Park, the water was way, way down. Swimming was out. It was like a moonscape. |   Lots of piers, sitting on dry land | Down the road at the Mongold area, the ruins of the housing that housed dam builders in the 1950s was visible |     Peter from the RV | Saw this little mouse bringing home bedding |   Our breakfast table | At Clear Lake, on the McKenzie Highway. The water is so clear because it's filled by underwater springs. |     I took out my Orukayak for the first and only time on the trip. Paddling around the lake on my own was well worth the pain of assembling it. |   The end of a submerged log became a little island |   Saw these birds quite a bit |   Also saw a bird that I learned was the American Dipper, a small water bird about the size of a sparrow |   At Sahalie Falls |   Funny pot-shaped rock | At the Obsidian Cliffs Trailhead, in the Three Sisters Wilderness. We were hiking in the woods for a while, but then we got some great views. |    We spent the night parked at the Trailhead. It was very quiet! | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
