Playtime in Central Oregon

So I have lately been captured away from my computer by the sunshine of Central Oregon. This last week, I was fortunate enough to ride up the Old McKenzie Pass (hwy 242) TWICE! It's a fun highway to ride this time of year because it's not open to cars due to snow at the very top.




It's a pretty good climb (in my opinion) to the summit, with a BEAUTIFUL 360 degree view of mountains! Pretty spectacular. After all the work riding up, you're rewarded with a fun descent that winds you back down to Sisters! I can't wait to do it again. :)



Next up, I'm stoked to float the river! I suspect it's still pretty cold from snow melt, but there's really nothing better after a long hot day than a dip in the river. :)

Memorial Day Camping

Well, I just got back from some fun in the hills! I went camping up at Scout Lake for my birthday and although it was super cold (pssst, summer... ahem, ahem.) it didn't rain or snow on us all weekend! A miracle! We stayed warm with big fires and nips of whiskey... oh yes, and forest bowling thanks to a lovely plastic bowling set we picked up. :)

This is why you take your camera with you at 4:30 in the morning.

Wood stacks at the campsite.

Safety first! This way they can't lose me in the woods. ;)

Sara decorated me with battery powered twinkle lights! Yay!

Beautifully eerie burn on the backside of camp.

Pups and pinwheels.

A bunch of my favorite dirtbags deciding on where to ride.

So there you have it! My birthday weekend... it was one of my favorites! Thanks you guys for making it so fun. :)
