Exploring Pine Lakes

Posted on August 1, 2016 by

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,

Deeper into Eagle Cap Wilderness

Posted on August 1, 2016 by

Jul. 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

Posted on August 1, 2016 by

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.

Eagle Cap Wilderness Photo Album

Posted on August 1, 2016 by

1_20160724_113148As 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.

The Beaches — Las Playas de Zihuatanejo

Posted on April 30, 2016 by

The appeal of Zihuatanejo is undoubtedly the beaches.  Of course, the geography gives rise to the food and shapes the people and the culture, so it’s hard to separate them all (the way I am attempting to do when writing about my trip).  But still, at the end of the day,

Dog Sledding & Snowshoeing — Feb 3

Posted on February 6, 2016 by

Nestling in the cabin after another day in the cold is a most inviting experience.  We have this theme going on in the temperate regions, but it’s more pronounced this far north.  The outside is colder, the inside is warmer, and the people are more extreme as well.

We woke up late because it was still dark and also,

Night Time Sledding — Feb 5

Posted on February 6, 2016 by

I was itching for some yoga, Dan was not quite itching as strongly as me, but he was a willing participant.  I found a place online called Heartstream Yoga and Donna’s bio looked varied and eclectic and so it was a go.  The studio was located near the Fred Meyer’s and off we went.
