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,

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.

Owyhee Canyon — Boise to Jordan Valley
by Sherri
SherriThe Basque Hotel, not to be missed. You simply haven’t lived, until you have been at the Basque Hotel. And I lay here late at night, so happy to be in a comfortable bed. Where is the Basque Hotel you ask? France or Spain, in the Pyrenees? No actually, it’s in the town of Jordan Valley (JV),

Pillars of Rome and JV — Jun 16
by Sherri
SherriI am at the Basque Hotel tonight and it is already feeling like home.
We woke up and asked the Shell attendant about the internet cafe in JV, and he directed us to JV Cafe. We went over to the café thinking we would order something light to eat to justify our use of the internet and catch up on email.

SherriI am back in Eugene now.
I woke up in Caldwell, with that feeling one gets knowing their travels are in the twilight phase. But also eager to make the most of the day, although I felt it wouldn’t top yesterday and discovering the Grand Canyon.
Back in Oregon,
