Let’s see, oh yes I left off talking about
lunch. We did get a nice lunch of pork
nachos and Sequoia got a little jealous of all of us eating and had to get this
picture taken at the restaurant.

After the hike we went to work on our brewery
passport program. We visited another
brewery, got our stamps and our prizes (t-shirts this time). Also saw this interesting animal and this
cool painting of a wolf sharing a campfire.
My roommate thought the guy on the right looked like a young and thinner
Kenny Rogers. What do you think blog
pals?
...Day Two...
Day two was just as busy as day one. Again, we started with a river hike (you can
thank the fishing bear for the suggestion).
Off we went back to the Deschutes River. Our goal was Dillon Falls about five miles downstream.

Lava
Island was our first big landmark. It
was an island of lava (creative naming eh?).
The water was rushing in some places and calm in
others.
The river trail eventually led us to Dillon Falls. All along the river we saw kayakers and white water rafters but interestingly we didn’t see anyone try navigating the falls.
Dillon Falls was our destination and also our
lunch spot. What? Only a peanut butter and jelly
sandwich? What no chips? No trail mix? No cheese? I am going to have a serious talk with the
chef of the house and make sure this injustice gets fixed.
Day three was just as busy as day one and
two. Sadly, we had to leave and start
heading back home. On the positive side
we had a nice waterfall hike planned for midway home. This hike, Shelburg Falls, is a new one for
us. I have to admit I am a sucker for
foxglove (go figure?) and the foxglove is starting to bloom. As you can see the invasive scotch broom is
blooming too.
After a short jaunt up a hill through an open range we
reached Shelburg Falls. I decided to
relax a little and enjoy the view.
We reached the falls pretty early in the hike and since it
was sunny my roommates decided to continue on with the hike. As you can see the sun is shining through
the trail. Aah what a relaxing weekend
although I must admit I am tired and need a good nights rest. Happy Memorial Day!
