Riley's Human
Wasn't sure I could make it until Thursday. Went food shopping and came home ready to load up the fridge. Its warm. Uh oh. Looks like a connection came unsoldered but its hard to see. I'll post another thread on that when I get it out and can see it better. Well that put me in kind a bad mood. Back to the store for ice and load up the ice chest. Things I normally bring (dog shelter, camera, table ) got left behind. Only have a few cell pics.
Its a long drive even for a three day weekend but off we head. 80 through NV doesn't me happy either. Get somewhat close to Sheldon and I stop and let the dog out to run him a bit before we roll into camp. He manages to hurt himself somehow and limps most of the rest of the trip. I think he strained a muscle as he looks pretty good today. Roll into camp behind another popup that looks oddly familiar. Yep, thats a ski3pin camper. Before I even get camp setup someone asks me where the door to my hot water heater is. Doh, its fallen off somewhere and unfortunately not nearby
Well at least I didn't have to cook (other that offering up some salad).
No birthday cake for Bob due the fire restrictions but Marty offered up a champagne toast.
It was hot and the next day everyone is off for other destinations. Bob and Don suggest I accompany them to Steen mountain. Thought about taking Riley to the vet but he hopped right into the truck. Its going to be a long long drive home if I go but heck, I've driven by but never actually been to the mountain. Off we go stopping at Fields of course for breakfast and a shake (thanks Bob). We get close enough to the Alvord for Bob to get some pics.
Then off to Steen. I'm glad I went because its nothing like the mental picture I had. A nice little bloom going on.
They tried to get me to hike into the gorge, not going to happen.
We weren't having much luck finding a place to camp, it was pretty busy on the weekend when we found Lily Lake. Primitive camping. Heck, we're pretty primitive and we had the whole place to ourselves.
The ride home was brutal but I got to see a lot of country I've never seen before. Good thing the Oregon Highway Patrol wasn't out on 395. Hopefully Bob posts up a few of his pics.
