I love living in Oregon. I am so close to the both the beach and mountains. And while I am more used to lots of trees and vegetation,
Dusk falls on Mt. Hood as we travel toward Central Oregon.
as we travel around the mountain and out of the national forest, we quickly come to high desert.
Steve, Michael, and I joined extended family for our annual family camping trip to Pelton on Lake Simtustus. Molly and Peter could not join us this year, but were most definitely
not forgotten!
The following pictures of the pop-up tent trailer are especially for Penny (Sew Take a Hike):
Pelton Wildlife:
Great Blue Heron
Wild Horses

Ready,
Set,
Go!
And even a little time for quiet reflection....
Back home around the mountain again.
And all too soon, passing under my husband's favorite sign designating our two homes.
With wishes, true and kind -- Joan
