Heading south to the "Land of Umpqua"

Canton Creek

We seldom head south from Eugene, but when we do we always wonder why we don't do it more often.  The Umpqua River, particularly the North Fork, is truly spectacular and full of nooks and crannies to explore.  Last weekend we camped along Canton Creek, a small tributary to the North Umpqua near Steamboat.  Great swimming and no mosquitoes - a definite bonus on this epic bug summer.  We need to make a point to head this way more often in the future.
