Recent escapades

Well a fellow blogger friend suggested I create one of these things so that we can all stay in touch just a little bit more, especially since the move, so...here it is. I will do my best to try and keep it relatively current and have included my beloved other half as part of this, should he also like to share some thoughts. For now, let me tell you that it has been just over a month since we picked up our lives and moved to Central Oregon and we can't believe we waited so long! We are pretty much settled and adjusted, but for a few things here and there. The job situation isn't that bad- at least we are both working and there are still options out there to explore. We love our house and where we live so I would say that things are going quite well!

Well sadly we havn't had the opportunity to go exploring our new home turf as much as we would like...but we have done a few things.

The first escapade we went on involved going underground and in the dark- we visited some old lava tube caves- one was called skeleton cave and the other I am not recalling right now.
It is cold underground and very dark- always remember to dress appropriately and to bring extra batteries for the flashlights!
This caving is definetly more of an excitement to John, personally I prefer to stay above ground...my mind gets to wandering when I am down there, earthquakes, cave-ins, freak murdereres hiding in the dark corners, you name it I start thinking it, and then it makes me a little clausterphobic, but I grin and bear it and can't wait to see daylight again!! There are many more caves around that John is eager to explore so hurry up friends and come visist so I can pawn someone else off on this kind of adventure!

The second escapade was a lovely day trip to Crater Lake for our first year anniversary! It really was lovely, it had been 6 years since our last Crater visit, now we are so much closer so we can take a drive there anytime! I have pictures that I will post as soon as I get them loaded to the computer.

Next we plan on hitting some water spots- floating down the river one day and finding a nice lake the next- it is going to be in the triple digits this weekend afterall!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!
