We walked along the river for several miles, into the forest and along the river's edge, crossing bridges back and forth. These photos are not retouched, which proves that nothing can surpass nature for artistic beauty.

Spending a day along the Rogue River in Oregon
We walked along the river for several miles, into the forest and along the river's edge, crossing bridges back and forth. These photos are not retouched, which proves that nothing can surpass nature for artistic beauty.

Crater Lake Lodge
Inside Crater Lake Lodge, a beautiful old lodge, where we enjoyed lunch so much that we returned for dinner too!
Rollie and Mary, inside the lodge!
Tony being Tony
You can barely see Tony in the photo and again, you can't make out the actual height of the tree roots.
Tony decided to climb out on some tree roots hanging high over the valley. The photo doesn't capture the extent of the risk! There was nothing except roots for several thousand feet under him!

Oregon Trip - Day 5
Happy Trails Cowboy Camp
We moved to our new location, Happy Trails Cowboy Camp, near Klamath Falls, Oregon. Rollie and Mary are traveling with four companions including their horses, Star, Cochise and Dorado as well as their border collie, Gypsy.
We took a trail ride. Tony rode "Tuffy" who lives here at Happy Trails. We are both riding novices but with Rollie and Mary's patient coaching, we managed our horses "ok" and had a wonderful time. (We did go to bed at 8:30, slept 9 hours and woke up with sore "seats" but wouldn't have missed it!!
Mary packed us a lunch that we ate on the trail! (That means I had to get down from the horse and back up again - another challenge!)
This is me with "Star". She is really well trained!
Tony had the camera, so there are no photos of him here, but he was a "natural" and looked great on "Toughy"!
Oregon Trip - Day 4
Visit to the Obsidian Flow
Rollie and Mary came down from Washington to meet us and we took a short hike to see a really amazing and rare Obsidian flow. You have to see it to believe how beautiful it is!
Oregon Trip - Day 3
Beautiful Lake Paulina We spent the first night at Chief Paulina Horse Camp and woke up to a blanket of snow! Although it was amazingly beautiful, we decided to head south for a warmer place to stay!
A beautiful view of Mount Shasta - "We were there!"
