Once again, I dont really get a spring break due to the multiple campuses I teach at. Up is even proud that they dont have the same spring break as anyone else. Grrr. Anyways, I do have three mellowish weeks though. So last weekend Eric and I took a camping trip up the Deschutes.
It's odd to see the desert green
It sure is pretty though. But cold. Cold. Cold.
We biked our camping gear in, then walked the second day (haven't been on a bike for a year now with it being buried in the garage. Hiking was kind of the only option after the bike ride in)
The trail is the old train track bed on the east side of the river. There is a fun story about the railroad war between the two companies to build the train first. Both sides of the river got tracks, and then one went away. This is one of the few remaining water towers.
We havent gotten much exercise lately, but we made up for it on this trip. The hike on Saturday covered almost 14 miles.
I love this river
The Harris homestead. Looks pretty solid from afar...
We even managed to get Rin tired!
