I took this photo earlier this week at Rock Creek Campground on the Deschutes National Forest. This lake is Crane Prairie Reservoir, and there are 4 campgrounds located on several different areas around this lake. This late in the camping season, some of the campgrounds are gated and closed. Rock Creek CG is actually closed, except for the boat ramp and a few campsites by the boat ramp that are left open and free to use. The weather was lovely...80 to 85 and sunny...perfect early fall days. There were actually quite a few people camping in the nice weather, mostly staying in RV's of some type. Simply lovely!

Central Oregon Adventure 2012

I have been gone for several days for a vacation in Central Oregon. I took the cabin on wheels and parked in a campground. This photo is of the Pole Creek Fire near Sisters, OR. The size is now over 25,000 acres. It burned like crazy last Friday, when I took this photo with my cell phone. We (Jane and I) were many miles southeast of the fire. I took this photo about 30 miles south of Bend, OR near Sunriver. It is very dry here and wildfire is a real threat. I am back to regular blogging.
