Chilly Hands and Fried Clams
Fried prawns on Christmas Eve are a family tradition. And some years, when we’re lucky, there’s a clam dig. Then we have fried, fresh razor clams too. There were two days of clam digging this year. The first you’ll see here where Bob, Keith, Cindie, and Zach easily dug their limit for a total of…

Visiting Ed and Mary
On our way home from visiting Ed and Mary, we stopped at this canyon. Since we stopped there last, a new bridge is in place. They left the old bridge intact which allowed me to take the above photo. The last time we stopped here, we were with Rob and Cindie when their dog, Cali…

Bob’s Birthday, Scouting for Campsites, and The Metolius River
The day before Bob’s birthday – Happy 69th! (again) – we took a little road trip to see the Metolius River and scout campgrounds north of Sisters in hopes of some August camping trips. The Metolius River is unique in that you can take a short stroll down a path and see it’s mouth –…
