We headed inland to the Grants Pass area, where we enjoyed a lovely day of wine-tasting in the Applegate Valley. After getting the fridge fixed in Brookings, we visited the Oregon Caves National Monument, took the chilly but fascinating 1 1/2 tour, then camped nearby. Headed to the Rogue River, where we took a great hike to Rainie Falls and watched rafting parties descend the fish ladder. Most rafts had dogs! After a too-quick visit to Ashland, we headed into the Cascades, where we have spent the last few days camped on the shore of Fourmile Lake, escaping the record heat in the valleys. Today we took a day trip to Crater Lake. Wow! Currently ensconced in the lodge lobby. Once we're through with their WiFi, we'll head back to Fourmile. Tomorrow we'll resume our slow progress north- Bend, Sisters, the Metolius River, Columbia River Gorge and Portland.
On our trip so far, cell phone coverage has been spotty at best. One or two bars of Verizon wireless 3G are even more rare. Wireless like you have at home or Starbucks, good luck! So it's easiest to take cellphone photos and post them to Facebook. Means you non-Facebook folks miss out on a lot of photos and commentary. And so it goes. Today we had lunch in the lodge at Crater Lake (the doorman graciously offered to mind Toby), then used their wireless to transfer photos from camera to laptop to you. Ran out of battery before I could add captions. Sorry!
