Back to work...

Sunday afternoon, Lisa and I went camping!  We set off with a tent, sleeping bags, food, clothes, and firewood.  We picked up some beer and grabbed ice cream. We saw the Natural Bridge along the way.  It's a bridge that naturally formed from Lava.  Through some process, the lave hardened, but created a tunnel that lave flowed through.  Over time, the lave stopped and water then passed through.  You could actually walk over the river on this before.

Our campsite at Union Creek

First fire

The Rogue River along our hike

A huckleberry!  still too ripe though.

Trippy look up at a tree...one of my favorite things to look at.

Another spot on the hike..this is lava rock that formed over time.

Just a beautiful flower.

We then set up camp at Union Creek..a hot spot with the highest price so far...$14! We were stayed in a very historical spot.  Our camp was one that was used very much in the 1800s and through the early 1900s. We had coffee and very berry pie (homemade) at a restaurant that was built in the 1930s.  The recipe for the pie even dates back to the lady who helped open it with her husband for travelers along the route.

Monday, we work up and had some breakfast, then headed to Beckie's for coffee.  After a relaxing morning we set off for a long hike..roughly 6 miles.  We took lunch with us and ate along the river.  A couple passed by and chatted with us, and wanted to connect me with a farmer in Medford that is doing a CSA thing.  We walked back to their cabin, got a beautiful tour, and chatted.  They drive up in the winter, and then snowshoe into their cabin from about 1.5 miles away...prettttyy cool.  After our hike we were pretty tired.  We got Lisa'a car and then hit up the country store for snacks and stuff.  We ate dinner back at our campsite, then back to Beckie's for the pie :)  Had a short fire and off to bed.  We had some real good conversations about the world...a topic that frequently comes up.

Woke up early this morning to head back to work.  A usual morning in the garden and great lunch.  Afterwards, Sara showed us how to braid garlic..which we get to keep...soo cool!
