Central Oregon Road Trippin' - Part 1: Waldo Lake

Kai and Nikko paddling across quiet (and smokey) Waldo Lake

The boys were ready to go. These past few weeks have been too smoky and the boys were stuck bouncing off the walls.

Waldo Wasn't looking great, but definitely better!

Nikko dancin' after the long drive.

The canoe was full, so we towed Kai on his own SUP.

"What up dude?"

The Lake was a bit smokey, so we had it pretty much to ourselves. We found a sweet site that was almost an island. Shasta was ready to get off the canoe

Kimbo was in no hurry

Sweet site!

The boys were inspired by the Younkin boys and wanted to sleep in their own hammock

Dinner time!

After dinner games

Kimbo the loser!

Spring Break '21 Green River with the boys! - Part 2 - on the river!

Had another successful Green River mission. So I think I went Spring Break of 2000, 2003, and 2021.

Day 1

This was a sweet boondocking spot.

Poor Shasta...

Loading up... this is basically all we did this trip. Load up, camp. Pack up, canoe. Unload the canoe, to camp, then load up the canoe, and paddle... on and on and on...
