Taking a 'normal' length of time to vacation in Oregon doesn't seem to work out so well for me. My thirteen days in June 2016 were packed with visits and social missions and keeping promises to people I've come to adore. I did, however, manage to get to explore two new areas with my camera, and I'm pretty delighted with the results.
The first was the Merlin-Galice Road, which runs in part parallel to the Rogue River and offers walk-off-the-edge views of the river cliffs at Hellgate Overlook (in itself very difficult to do photographic justice, but from the lookoff just up the road...)
There was tiny scenery too!
On the way back to the house, a side trip to the old Robertson Bridge: no longer in use but absolutely fascinating for taking photos.
My second mission was to a masonic cemetery that I hadn't even known existed in town up to this point, though I'd driven right past it more than once. We spent an evening exploring the grounds and I was over the moon with excitement over the spectacular light the setting sun provided.
Even Wal-Mart takes on a beautiful glow from the right angle!
I haven't planned my next trip to Oregon, but I'm looking forward to it all the same. I miss my community there and I can't wait to explore even more of town with good friends and the people who treat me like one of their own. <3
