Alaska. Getting there is a trip in itself, but a trip full of rewards. Getting there, in my experience, involves multiple modes of transport, including boats (vessels?) which for me double as not just a way to get from point A to B, but as a way to experience the place you are in. But more on all the wonders on the southeast waters in a bit.
Sometimes a weekend just means getting out of town, soaking in some sun, listening to the birds, a campfire, and getting up in the middle of the night to look at the meteor shower. What do you have planned for the weekend?
We’ve driven by on the way east many times, the sign always beckoning, but the time not allowing a visit. This past weekend it was finally the destination.
Chickahominy is a reservoir in the high desert of eastern Oregon. Several hundred acres of water seem a bit out of place in the sagebrush ocean of Harney County. Along with the reservoir is a campground with well over 30 sites, a nice boat ramp and lots of fishing opportunities with views for miles. Saturday was going to be the nicest day in a week and it was time to start getting out and about. After a short drive we had a campsite with a lake view and were quickly trolling. Before long we started getting some takers and it didn’t take too much to figure out where the biters were.
