Rain etc.

Well it has been a wet few days here at the Russian River, and we even had a class 1 tornado tear up a landscaping business in downtown Santa Rosa. Lot's of slides and trees down but the river is still well below flood stage.

We Miss Our Blog

It has been a long time since our last post, and no excuse other than just living. We have been at the Russian River for awhile and have loved it, but now we will move on to places unknown.

Camp Life

The State campgrounds in Oregon and Washington were wonderful, good prices and full hook ups!!
This is our Cape Disappointment site, the Ocean is on the other side of the trees and bushes. Little did we know that only hours from when this picture was taken we would be in an ambulance taking me to the Hospital in Ilwaco Washington!!!!

Evening Sky

Our sunset from camp.

Cape Disappointment Washington

Well we made it, and boy was it worth it. Here is the Cape Disapointment Lighthouse. Our campsite was actually just on the other side of the bushes where Julie is holding the lighthouse. This is such a beautiful area, we will definitely go back.

The road to Cape Disapointment

Beautiful road heading to Cape Disappointment. Flowers everywhere, old shipwreck, and tunnels.

Columbia River

After we left Multnomah Falls area we headed out along the Columbia River and crossed into Washington at Portland.

Ponytail Falls

Ponytail Falls and Trail to Multnomah Falls

Under Ponytail Falls

The trail winds along little canyons and in one spot goes under the Falls.

Horsetail Falls

This is one of the many falls we came across along the Columbia River.

Multnomah Falls

This is Multnomah Falls Oregon along the Columbia River. We were camped about 6 miles away by trail, and so we had a beautiful walk along a trail that had two other falls and then finished up with this!

Fowler Campground

This is our idea of the perfect campsite.

Middle Falls McCloud River

This was a wonderful place we stayed on the way to Washington State. It is near the Fowler Campgrounds along hwy 89 just East of McCloud California. It has great trails and we had a wonderful time there.

We Are Back

January 2009
We have been very bad bloggers for the last few months, but we are back and will start to update our blog with all that has been happening since we last wrote.
Our last days on the Central California Coast were at Morro Bay State Park, which is one of our favorite places to stay, and this time we splurged and got a partial hook up site (Water and power).
We got in some hikes on Black Hill, and ate at the Bayside Cafe, and pretty much had a grand old time.

San Simeon State Park

Here is our dream farm, and some sights along the trail.

On the Trail

We went hiking on a wonderful trail that loops all of the campground at San Simeon, and we were treated to some big Draft Horses near the trail.

Campsite at San Simeon

We loved the State PArk Campgrounds at San Simeon, beautiful open and private spaces, and a short walk to the beach.

Camp Life

Ahh, camp at night, a nice fire, coops in her tent, Rudi watching from the screen door, Mom and Dad have bread, apricots, cookies and wine!!!!!
