Jul. 25: We are on our second and last night at Pine Lakes. I certainly could drink in the scenery here for more days. However, I am fully accepting of the fact that we have more magnificent places to explore. So we are on the move.
This morning,

by Sherri
SherriJul. 26: We are sitting in our new camp, a ways up the trail from Crater Lake in one of Raz’ hidden camp sites. I will tell you more about Raz’ camp sites in a moment. This one is not THE Crater Lake in Oregon, but a small lake deep in the Eagle Cap Wilderness that bears the same name.

Toward Halfway

Jul. 28: I write to you from the comfort of the Best Western in John Day. We hit the trail toward Halfway around 11am. Even with an early bird group, it takes about two hours to gather and saddle up and pack the llamas.
Our route out from Crater Lake involved mostly retracing our steps except for a small stretch on a parallel trail.

As you could imagine, the scenery here is something to behold. After inserting pictures into my writing, I simply ended up with a lot more pictures that deserved to see the light of day. I could describe them all, but in this instance words won’t do them justice. So here is an Eagle Cap Wilderness photo album and some gems that will simply speak for themselves.

Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park – Jun 21
by Sherri
SherriIt’s the longest day of the year, which can also be viewed as the shortest night of the year. Some sort of celebration is in order so here I sit, at midnight by the campfire, reliving my full and strenuous day exploring Big Sur and Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park.

Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park – Jun 22
by Sherri
SherriI am watching the moon rise through the sky and it’s another clear, breezy night in Big Sur. I have created a ritual here that when I wake up, I walk down to the ocean. It’s about 1.5 mile there and back, and it’s an excellent way to get things moving and in good stead for the day to come,

Sand Dollar Beach – Jun 23
by Sherri
SherriAlthough we originally had just booked three nights at Andrew Molera campground, I think it’s wise we opted for two more nights here. In part, because it saves a lot of work of packing and setting up camp again, which leaves us more time for other things, and in part,

Andrew Molera State Park – Jun 24
by Sherri
SherriOur last night at Andrew Molera State Park is upon us. From exploring Big Sur and seeing many of the campgrounds, we confirmed without a doubt that we are at the best one and we have enjoyed the relative solitude here, not to mention we feel we were lucky to have landed a spot,
