Salt Creek Falls (part 3)

Salt Creek Falls Is The Second Highest Waterfall In Oregon



Maps Are Good

You Can See Why These Things Are Built So Sturdily




Another View of The Falls




My Camera Has A 12x Zoom. So Now I Can Show You The Falling Water.


Icicles




It's Impossible To Capture In A Picture The Dizzying Exhilaration of Peaking Over The Railing And Watching The Water Plunge Down Almost Underneath Your Feet, But I Tried.


It's Very Bright



The River Above The Falls

Snow Shoeing Salt Creek Fall part 1

Last Sunday. Andrew and I decided to take an adventure. Andrew invited our friend Jamie along by telling her we had an extra pair of snow shoes. 
"Does that mean I'm invited?" she asked.
"psh" said Andrew. "No. I was just telling you we had extra snow shoes."
We took 99W instead of I5 because it is a lovely drive. It doesn't take much longer

The Willamette Valley only looks like this for one day in February



We stopped south of Eugene to get some food and look up places to buy a snow park permit on Andrews phone

She hasn't yet realized I'm taking her picture

Just walkin


Jamie-Hey are you taking my picture


We stopped at a bike shop in Oak Ridge to buy a Snow Park permit. This was the view from the parking lot.

On the road again

Highway 58


Nothing But Blue Skies


Ahh! Wet. Dirty melting snow.




Fog Rising Off The Road

Pretty Snow

Stuck Behind This Truck

Still Stuck Behind The Truck

Getting Dirty Water Sprayed On Us By The Truck

Aha! We Passed The Truck
We Have Arrived
