Trillium Lake 2


Trillium Lake

 This was taken with Sony mirrorless camera to get a comparison with the iPhone 11 images, for sure I can play more with the zoom.

The forecast calls for a hot day on Monday, so we head to the mountain to cool off and visit this lake, so close, yet we have not explored since we live in the area. We walk the complete Trillium loop with a total of 2.0 miles. It's warm when we walked.

Escape from the heat



Lincoln City - Taft Historical District


We escaped the heat to Lincoln City, we tried the Newberg-Dundee Expressway that was done maybe 4 years ago. We then go to Depoe Bay and back to Taft Historical District for some fried clams which took about forty minutes to get done, we were given 23 ketchup sachets.

We escaped the heat and went to Astoria for a much cooler weather, but lunch is on the first agenda then we walk a portion of the Astoria Riverwalk, on the way home we stop at CAMP 18 for a restroom stop. Oh by the way, we also found hand sanitizers in the smaller town.

McKenzie River TROUT HOUSE

McKenzie River TROUT HOUSE
We needed to take a drive after sheltering in the house during this COVID pandemic. Our friend Rod is recuperating after triple by pass surgery last May. So we set a date and approximate time and behold we are in this amazing estate next to McKenzie River. Enjoy the journey....By the way, I also found a covered bridge along the way.
