Cindy's First Day of School

Cindy is, as she had desired, out on a beach on what would have been her first day of school 2013-14.   (Pic @ my Picasa.)

We spent three nights in Iron Creek campground, an extremely beautiful place full of big trees (not all of which are standing).  P. & I. Far. slept in a tent on our campsite, and P. & A. Rou. were just feet away in _Andy_.  Quite a few feet, actually.  Despite their being in the next "slip", we could barely see them.  The sites were well separated, and were secluded by considerable vegetation.

This is a great park; we will return.

This trip will take us into the Bend area where we hope to rendezvous with H. & M. Sch., who insist that there are many things of interest and beauty nearby.  We already have a list, and (once again, after last summer's big "Ranger cruise" to Yellowstone) vulcanism will be a major theme.

Alas (or not) these volcanoes seem to be largely defunct.

All good!
