What a beautiful spot

At last, I am able to write a post that is interesting to those who are not RV Appliance geeks.  We are parked by the Willamette River at Casey's Riverside RV Park in Westfir, OR.  With a fully functioning furnace, and dry weather on the horizon, we took off after church and drove 111 miles to a little slice of heaven in the Cascade mountains.

The video is the view out our dinette window. The drive up here, however, was as beautiful as the destination. That's what I love about RVing and sailing.  The journey is as important as the destination...and as rewarding.

My co-pilot and resident photographer, took a few shots on the way up here, and although a sunny day would have shown off the scenery better, I think these shots are rather pretty just as they are.

 Here's a nice little farm we saw along Hwy 58.

This covered bridge crosses Dexter Lake, a reservoir behind a dam on the Willamette River.

This dam is at the upper end of Dexter Lake and forms a second lake, Lookout Point Reservoir.  I assume the dams that form these lakes are hydro-electric plants, but that is merely an assumption.

Here's a shot of the upper lake, obviously taken through Sadie's windshield. .








We didn't arrive at Casey's until after 5:00 PM, so we haven't had time to do much exploring.  You may be sure that I will post again tomorrow.
