Day 1 - Crater to the Coast trip
As we began a short fall trip, initially we didn’t plan to
write a blog. However, as Pat pointed out, “It’s a good way to keep track of
our adventures". So, we begin...
Our first day was a trek down I-5 through Oregon. Once past
the always questionable freeway traffic in Portland, we cruised on down to Eugene
where we headed east on Hwy 58. It’s a busy road that connects to Bend but is a
scenic drive through a conifer forest.
That night we camped at the Black Canyon Campground which
was practically empty. Although the name is a bit forbidding, it was a nice
campground alongside the Willamette River. This far upriver, it was barely more
than a stream and provided a nice way to cool off on a rather warm, 85 degree,
day.
