This is a picture of my friend Barbara's home away from home during a camping trip at the Cascade Lakes . . . Sparks and Hosner. It certainly looks like a beautiful camping spot. Barbara and her husband joined friends for their annual trek to the lakes. She mentioned that they did not have a canoe to take all the gear to the end of the lake so spent a night at the hotel only, as she said, "Proper Planning Prevents Piss Pore Outcome" she could have rented a canoe instead of paying for a room at the motel. Barbara is a delightful lady to know. She is very talented and smart and such fun to be with. 
Now this one is a beauty, the early fog rising over the lake. A cause of reflection and meditation. Isn't nature wonderful. The photographer had a great eye. 
This one Barbara called her volcano, but it was actually a full moon rising over the mountain top of Mt. Bachelor with the camp fire below.
This is South Sister. A truly spectacular view of a fiery sunset.
Barbara called this one the "Head of the Dragon" sculptured by The Master. How beautiful, calm and serene. It must have been hard to leave all this beauty behind and return to work, but oh what memories and how refreshed the soul must be after spending a few days in wonderful silence and beauty. So today, hump day for all of us, tell yourself you deserve a camping trip just like this and plan one for next year. I personally have not been a camper but only because I didn't have the opportunity, or didn't know enough to create one so I could go off and enjoy all these sights and sounds. Well, there was Boone Lake in Rhode Island where Minnie Mouse and Hobo had a cottage and we were always welcomed there. It wasn't really camping though, but as close as I could get. Know that it is within your means to plan and prepare for such a time in your life. You deserve at least one camping trip in a life time . . . go for it. Don't waste another second . . . plot . . . plan . . . and enjoy it when you can. Hugs to all.
