Camping In The Desert

Enjoying the Autumn colors in the desert. 

We were off camping again . . .

This time at beautiful

Steamboat Rock State Park, WA.

The weather was a mix of warm & sunny,

chilly, windy and raining.

All in all an amazing trip.

The bike paths were glorious

with breathtaking views and 

curved paths with gentle hills easy

enough for a lady of my years to manage :)

Desert wildflowers.

This photo was taken on one of my

bike rides.  

At this point I turned around and headed

back to camp. It was raining, but not

hard and felt very refreshing :)

We enjoyed meeting our new neighbors . . . 

These wild turkey came into camp every day.

They would stay a while and then march

back into the tall desert grass,

only to come back in an hour or so.

Butchy loved sitting my the screen door

watching them walk about our campsite. 

Kayaking was marvelous . . .

You wouldn't want to go overboard

because the water was quite cold.

 Here you can see one of the caves in the cliffs.

Look closely to the right,

do you see the bridge?

That's where we were headed. 

Under the bridge.

This was on the other side.

In the Spring when the snow melts . . .

there is a waterfall here that flows 

down those cliffs and into the lake.

We sat there in awe and made plans to return

in the Spring.

Here we gathered our kayaks together

on the way back across the lake 

to stop and enjoy the view.

That's how we spent four delightfully

calm and restful days this month . . .

Wish you were here!

We would have a great time together :)
