Things to See Near Prospect, OR

First I just have to say... I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted. I'll try to do better.

Back to our fall vacation... one of our stops was at Prospect RV Park just outside of Crater Lake National Park. We had planned on staying one night but the kind park hostess told us there was lots to see in the area. So Monday morning we hopped on the bike and went exploring. After about a mile we parked the bike and started hiking in the Mill Creek Falls Scenic Area. We ended up seeing 3 waterfalls and walking down to "The Aveue of the Boulders". Thank you, Boise Cascade, Thank you for sharing your property!

The trails were well maintained and marked. It was a perfect day.

Dave tested his new cell phone and Cingular service - it worked!

Avenue of the Boulders

I took time to make a small rock sculpture.

Next we rode up the highway a bit to see the Natural Bridge and the Rogue River Gorge. Incredible views. Took lots of pictures but the lighting wasn't very good. That's one of the disadvantages to sightseeing at noon on a sunny day. Anyway... we did convince a butterfly to pose for us. Just think - if we hadn't stayed at the Prospect RV Park we would have missed this amazing day.

Lunch was at Beckie's. We had huckleberry pie ala mode for dessert. I love vacation!

We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing. Watched "O" and reviewed the pictures from the day on the laptop. Life is good.
