Ice Cap 1

Pedro and I went camping at Ice Cap in central Oregon. It was such a great trip that as soon as we got home, we planned another one.

Greg was eager to take a sailboat cruise, and generous enough to pay the way for all of us.

Eagle Creek Recovering

At the River

Yes, it felt pretty darn redneck, and happy, and simple. It was a perfect place to be. 🙂
