The Rogue, a river with a well-deserved reputation...

Today is Saturday.  We had a pretty laid back day.  It was a bit colder last night, and we woke up early because of it.  I threw the electric blanket over the bed and started the furnace; Jill went back to sleep.  I was pretty awake, so I got up and switched on the coffee.  

After a bit more snoozing, Jill got up and made some outstanding bacon pancakes and fried eggs. We debated about what to do today and finally decided to do laundry.  There is a nice little laundromat in Prospect, which we had all to ourselves.  For $2.50 we have clean clothes!  

When we got back to Sadie, it was about lunch time, so we had some tacquitos for lunch, and then we decided to make a trek to visit Mill Creek falls and Barr Creek falls, which are just a couple of miles from our park.  This was, perhaps, the most exciting thing we have seen on this vacation.  The falls are both breathtaking, falling off the cliffs to the south into the Rogue River. I took a couple of movies with our new camera, but my internet connection is too slow to upload them.  There are a few shots of the river and Barr Creek falls in the slide show above.  I only got a movie of Mill Creek falls. Perhaps, I will upload it later, when our wi-fi connection is faster.

Hiking to the falls was fun, and Pogo got her exercise for the day.  It is comical to watch her, when we are hiking.  She tugs at the leash, until we release her from it.  Then she heels as if she had been seeing a dog trainer all her life.  She loves the security of the leash, and when she is off leash she wants to make sure WE  are not going to run away! 

After our hike, Pogo had a long drink of water.  Then we drove along the highway that is the main street of Prospect and then turns into a country road. The scenery was spectacular, as it has been on this whole trip. 

We returned to Sadie in time to see Nebraska polish off Washington (boo hoo...how my heart bleeds for Washington). So, try as I might, I cannot find anything to complain about today...except maybe that we have to move on tomorrow...to our reserved ocean front RV space in Brookings.  Life is hard sometimes.
