Ana Reservoir, 2018
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?
Chickahominy!, 2018
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.
Hager Mountain Lookout, 2018
It’s been quiet around this site for a while but not because there has been nothing going on. Since the last post there’s been a trip to the north Oregon coast,
a ski trip to north central Washington to glide through the trees,
and even a stop at Gettysburg.
But now that spring is coming back around its time to get back outside in earnest.
Hager Mountain Lookout is a popular spot. I’ve been wanting to spend a few nights in a lookout for many years, but reserving far enough in advance before all the days are booked is always a challenge. 6 months and two weeks back we got lucky and there was an opening. We grabbed it. In February I was thinking there would be no snow and spring time conditions. Then March came and with it, finally, winter. The week prior to heading out snow was in the forecast again. But by the time we were headed to the trailhead the storm had passed, dumping a bit of snow along the way, leaving us with a nice blue sky day to head to the top of the mountain.
