Year 4 Day 1

Greetings from Oregon! Its that time again . We started out in Sparks, NV picking up mom and then headed north. Some familiar places along the way including Susanville and Eagle Lake. We headed toward Oregon after of course stopping multiple times along the way. Crater Lake was our first stop. We drove from the south entrance to the North entrance along rim drive. What a beautiful place! The water is so blue and inviting. We read that it is the purest water on Earth! Way cool. Every over look stop later we headed west again toward Toketee Falls along the Umpqua River. This river reminded us so much of the Truckee river and of course Chris wanted to stop and fish every chance he got. No fisning this time, but maybe a place to keep in mind for later. The falls were beautiful! Toketee means graceful and graceful they were; however, Mom was not so much. She took the first fall of the trip tearing the skin on her other knee. Swell. We stopped tonight in Roseburg Oregon. Of course there is a pool and of course its a Holiday Inn Express. Our usual. Tomorrow we head off toward the coast and some cooler ocean winds. Enjoy the photos for now. :-) - Traveling Mama.
