Tour de Oregon

If you have been reading this blog at all this summer, you know Joe and I have been crazy busy lately. Last week was no different. Our "relaxing" week in Roseburg quickly escalated into a whirlwind of events. Here are some pics from the first half of our week, including a camping/hiking trip in the Three Sisters wilderness and a berry-picking/homemade jam making session. I'll post about the second half of the week later...

Early in the day with a long way to go

Taking a break along the way at the false summit

I could think of worse places to eat lunch...

Deja vu... we summitted this mountain about 5 years ago and took this exact same pic. (only this time Joe did not experience full body cramps on the way down, thankfully)

Love this pic, look at the bee Joe is frowning at!

Jack kicked our butts up the mountain

Quizzy quizzy time! What mountains can you see in this pic, looking north from the South Sister? If you can't get out least 2, you are a disgraceful Oregonian...

Preparing to "ski" our way down the mountain...


I've wanted to go berry-picking all summer and finally got Joe (and his Mom) to go with me. Here are a few pics of our outing... 17 pounds of berries, not too shabby!
