RV Dreamers

So Scott and I figured this out the other day — when I turn 40 years old three years from now, we will have been married for 20 years - which will have been half of my life.   Wow… that seems so strange.

Anyhoo… the real reason I’m here is to share photos from our week-long trip to Central Oregon to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary (we were married on August 22, 1992). The destination — Lake Billy Chinook.  Some of the things we did all week:

• Went “wow” over and over again at the windmill fields we passed on the way there
• Caught teeny, tiny bass (after crawling over a hillside made up of GIGANTIC boulders to get to the fishing hole)
• Found creepy crawlies in our camp - scorpions, giant beetles, red ants (not to mention the dead field mice in the water buckets)
• Hiked through a lava tube that was a chilly 42 degrees inside (which felt SO good that day)
• Gazed down on the Crooked River from a really tall bridge with a sign proclaiming “many dogs have died here”
• Went to an airshow that kind of sucked but was really cheap
• Played horsehoes in our underwear (we camped on private property where NOBODY could see us)
• Played a crappy round of golf where we got completely eaten alive by mosquitoes
• Visited Smith Rock for all of 10 minutes because it was getting dark - just enough time to snap a few photos
• Discovered that Mt. Bachelor sucks in the summer and is a waste of gas
• Learned how Lake Billy Chinook was formed when we visited Round Butte Dam
• Decided Sunriver is boring - it’s just a bunch of rich people’s summer homes.  And there is nothing fun to do in Madras - AT ALL.

We did a zillion more things, but that’s what I remember off the top of my head.  For the entire photo gallery - head here.
