On the Water, Part III


Beautiful campsite on second night
Heading up to recreation mecca Bend, Oregon last Tuesday we reminisced about our fun kayaking in the Everglades and canoeing the Rio Grande.   One more trip on the river sure would be fun.   All it  took was a 3G connection, a few clicks on the Ipad, and a phone call to get signed up for three days on the Deschutes River with Ouzel Outfitters.   And what a river - clean, fast, high volume - absolutely gorgeous!    Multi day river floats by canoe or raft have become our  family's favorite vacation activity.    Water, sun, wilderness, camaraderie, and a great meal with a glass of wine at the end of the day.   What more could you ask for?    Another hack video perhaps?

Hike up desert hills before dinner.    

Erika prepares dinner.    Our guides did a fantastic job but one more trip like that and I'll need a membership to Jenny Craig.
