Rogue River Hiking

  We just got back from a delighful weekend hiking with the Volkswalk group.  On Friday we hiked a 10K trail around Lost Creek Lake and then went up and hiked another 13K on the Upper Rogue River Trail.  On the latter, we had snow patches and lots of trees that we had to climb over.  The scenery was breathtaking.  Some times the river was tumultous and at others, serenely quiet and calm.

There were wild flowers everywhere.  On Saturday we started with a 10 K at Casey State Park and then spent the afternoon walking around Eagle Point which was having an old time celebration with it's Grist Mill.  What fun!



Look up there, it's an eagle.  Terri (and husband Bob) and Gail were intently watching the eagle.  Attempts to photograph it were more difficult but it was fun to watch it and all the many osprey.  Did I mention that we were at the fish hatchery?
