Yeah and not to mention there isn't a lot of units to choose from right now. There has been a boom in RV sales.....

Wait until Jan/Feb. There will be a ton of used ones on the market and when I say used I mean units people purchased this summer and maybe camped once or twice.

Huntfish Falls on Sunday. Did the short trail so the kids wouldnt gripe too much. Like always they love the destination but grumble about the walking if it goes on too long. There was a fair amount people down there but still plenty of area to spread out and enjoy the falls.

Bridge to nowhere?

Bridge to nowhere?

basically yeah. You can walk across it. My wife made it across. I made it about 100ft and was like screw this. Was windy as hell and it was shaking. Bridge goes over the Arkansas River which you can see in one of the photos I posted. It was about 1,000 ft down.

We took the train along the river. It's 1250 feet down. My understanding is the bridge was built on a bet that it couldn't be done?

Our new rig cooks pretty well

Short hike to the top. Just 1.2 mi up but kinda steep. And terrible parking. Despite seeing a dozen or so groups on the way up, the top is actually spread out and we got some moments to ourselves. Some of the best views I’ve ever seen will definitely return to this one at some point View attachment 298377View attachment 298379View attachment 298378

I would frame that Great picture with the kids standing on the rocks with the clouds.............

Devils Bathtub in VA. Heavy heavy traffic on the trail. Maybe the most crowded hike I’ve ever been on.

That said, it is a fun trail. Rated as “Hard” on All Trails. I wouldn’t say it was strenuous but the terrain is pretty rough in parts. The ironic thing is the kids loved this one because there was so much climbing, crawling, and fording. There were 12 creek crossings. We knew there several going in so we wore water sandals for the entire hike. The payoff is really the swimming hole near the end. The name sake attraction is about 30 yards past the swimming hole.

We want to do this one again but going to shoot for a week day in hopes of less crowd.

The crowd at the swimming hole. We kept our distance and ate lunch. Most of it cleared out within 15 minutes. Never had the place to ourselves but we were still able to go swim for a about 20min before the second wave of people showed up. here is the actual “Devil’s Bathtub”

As you most likely have read, we're battling wild fires of the worst kind here in Oregon. These two pictures are from the McKenzie River, a river I rowed for over 30 years, a river that my granddaughter was named after and finally, the river gorge that is currently the home to the HOLIDAY FARM FIRE. My heart aches at what we will find once we are allowed to go up this river again. Holiday Farm was a resort on the edge of the river, my wife and I spent several anniversaries there. Rafting and fly fishing our way down the river to celebrate our anniversary. This is the river where we've both said we want our ashes spread (yea, we're old), but this is our river and it's burning!!

Rock Creek Falls in Erwin TN... All Trails list it as 4mi. I clocked 6.6 on my watch. First mile and half is a steady incline but not bad. I was just thinking how it was an easy ascent when it took a sharp incline. Kids were complaining the teail was “going on foreeeevvvveeerrrr”. But as always the end point always perks them up. This one had two falls to play in. It’s a fairly popular trail connected to a campground. We crossed several groups while going up but we lucked out and got both falls to ourselves. After eating lunch and play time kids were singing on the way back. Got caught in a pretty heavy rain shower too.

I hate that. Was this one a natural wild fire or human caused?

Don't think anyone knows yet.
