| Sahalie Falls in Willamette NF |
This was our fourth trip to central OR (Bend/Redmond area).
It was hot and smoky most of the week, but we were still able to get some good
hiking in, mostly around Sisters, and Bend. This time we flew into Portland and
drove from there. Portland was very quiet; they desperately need the National
Guard out there to stir things up. We drove though Columbia Gorge and stopped
at Lewis and Clark SP on our trip from the airport. After 5 days at the Eagle
Crest Resort (timeshare) we packed up and drove to the coast and stayed at the
Otter Crest Inn (timeshare).

It was great being right on the coast, we could seal and
whale watch from our third story living room, once the fog lifted. Lots of
interesting hikes and views as we traveled up and down the OR coast. After 5
days we had to pack up and return to the airport at Portland for our trip to
Honduras for Randy and Alba’s wedding.
