Lake of the Woods, OR

Three days now in this charming woodsy campground at 5,000' elevation in the southern Cascade Mountains.

Built in the 1920s in the midst of what is now the Winema National Forest, this resort offers wooden cabins, a rustic lodge with bright red Adirondack chairs, a marina/store, all up the hill from a two mile long lake.

They tell us that the freezing nights and daily snow showers is unusual for this time of year.  So we've spent most of our time indoors, enjoying the velvet green scenery and resting up for our new jobs.

Snow this morning

Looks like we've escaped the summer heat.

Yes, that's right. We're going back to work [Ha ha ha ha!]. On June 1, we start four hour shifts in the gift shop of Collier Memorial State Park.

We've most often heard three things about this park: mosquitoes; good fishing; and mosquitoes.

More to come....
