Oregon Wrap-Up

I hope you don't mind my exhaustive posts about this trip, but it really was a wonderful experience for our family and I'm so thankful we were able to do it.  Due to the composition of our group, the time constraints, and Covid, there were lots of things we didn't do that we would like to have done, which makes it really easy to dream about making another trip to the area.  Our bucket list for southeastern Oregon still includes: Crater Lake, Oregon Caves, Taylor's Sausage (Cave Junction), and the Vortex House of Mystery.  At the coast we want to go whale watching; hike Humbug Mountain; go to Kissing Rock and Myers Creek; see Indian Sands, Secret Beach, and the Cape Arago Lighthouse; explore the cave at Whaleshead Beach; and walk at least some of Natural Bridge.  We easily could have spent more time at Redwoods National Park too.

Our treehouse, the Majestree, 47 feet (and 72 stairs) high.

Some quotable quotes I didn't include in previous posts:

• "I want American junk food. (pause) I want a burrito."  - Eliza
• ("Luke, what did you think of the jetboats?") "One hundred percent fun."  - Luke
• ("Luke, what did you think of the trail ride?") "If I had $45,000 I'd pay it all to do it again."  - Luke
• "In-N-Out is actually 'in, stay in, and go out after an hour.'" - Luke

We were there at the right time for wildflowers -
and it was amazing how there were several I don't remember
ever seeing anywhere before.

I have several videos I thought I'd compile to include in this post but I just can't make that happen today.  So I'll try to edit and share those another time since the amazingness of the scenery comes across better over video.  In the meantime I'll leave you with this fun shot of the girls in front of a mural Cat spotted and requested we use as a backdrop for a 3-minute photo session.
