You might enjoy hearing a bit about one of our vacations this summer. In August we enjoyed camping with Mom & Dad
Black on their property in the desert in Prineville, OR for two nights,
driving to Paulina Lake (lots
of fish
were jumping!)
& to the top of Paulina Peak (from which you can see a looong
ways), canoeing on beautiful Hosmer Lake (there were
lots of fish in a shallow section) and camping there for the rest of
the week (there was a great view of Mt. Bachelor), picking up huge
rocks made of pumice at the obsidian flow, going for a bike ride around
Elk Lake, seeing hawks
and osprey hunting, vultures eating (but they flew away when we stopped
to look at them), and elk along the side of the road on the way home
(by Davison Road near Crescent
City, CA). Beforehand our OPC congregation in Eureka, CA had asked me
to preach on our way home, so we had a good
visit with the congregation (they asked me
to
teach SS at the last minute; thankfully I had a lesson and a few
handouts prepared), and with the family that gave us a place to stay
Saturday night. They asked me back to preach the very next Sunday
since their pulpit supply coordinatorship had just changed hands and
they didn't have a preacher scheduled. Safe travel the whole way,
which was a blessing. Google says the trip was about 1404 miles total. Mom
& Dad had an old tire blow out on their trailer on the way home,
but were able to continue after installing the spare tire. So you can
drool over vacationing in Oregon someday with us I've uploaded the
beautiful pictures Dad took here.
