Spent the Veteran's Day weekend, plus a couple of days, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Lots of sun, warmth, sand, and great food. Good drinks too. A nice break from the stagnant, foggy fall weather of the valley.

Can you see the huge bald eagle on top of this tree at 2nd Beach?
I love the Metolius River, especially in the fall when the crowds are gone. We camped there in late October for a weekend. Beautiful clear, sunny days and crisp mornings. Amazing fall colors on the way up to Santiam Pass - especially the vine maple in the lava beds. Great trip.
After spending 20 days in the hospital I returned home shortly before the Labor Day weekend. To celebrate, we spent the weekend camping at Waldo Lake, near Willamette Pass. Mostly I sat, read, gazed out over the lake, and enjoyed NOT being in a hospital room. Waldo Lake is a great place to recover - I hope it stays quiet.
