Busy week! Ben and I cruised over to Clear Lake on Monday night and spent a cozy night at Coldwater Cove Campground. The next morning, we did a drive-by of the waterfalls on the McKenzie Highway and then went up the mountain pass. Our hike up Black Crater was cut short by Ben not feeling well and snow at the top, but we still had fun. And we discovered that it's definitely worth stopping at the observatory tower at the top of the pass. Inside, tiny rock windows outline each mountaintop beyond with its name underneath. It was hard to take photos that captured both the mountain and its caption, but I did get a good picture of one window:
Today I finished the first short story I've written in quite some time (nice to take a break from a different project!) and then Katie and I went down to Eugene for their weekly sunset hike of Spencer Butte. Needless to say, it was gorgeous and a good hike with a nice friendly crowd of people.
Now, Ben goes back to work and I go back to writing articles... with another chance of a hike and a possible trip to Portland this weekend. I love Oregon!
