August 24, 2013 Redmond Oregon

Well I haven't added anything here since leaving Wyoming. We arrived at friends in Oregon and it seems we have been running nearly every day. Whether biking, hiking or 
geocaching we have been quite busy.

These guys are about to run our legs off.

We hiked a little over 3 miles around Suttle Lake, a natural lake at the crest of the Cascades.  
We've hiked Eagles Crest Resort along the Deschutes River. The Deschutes river is a major tributary from the Columbia River providing much irrigation for east of the Cascades.

WOW these guys are hard to keep up with at times.

Today we went White Water Rafting on the McKenzie River which is west of 
Redmond in the Willamette National Forest. The Mckenzie River is a 90 mile
tributary of the Willamette River in located in western Oregon. We all had
a blast, it was so fun. The water temperature was 42 degrees, so it was a 
little chilly when we were splashed, but still such a great time.

We also got to see Sahalie Falls on the Mckenzie River which has a total fall of 73 feet. It is the largest of 3 falls found on the Mckenzie River
