August 16th...6 am...on the road again!! This time to Oregon for the Solar Eclipse

First stop after breakfast is the Sundial Bridge in Redding.





After a long day on the road, a great campsite at La Pine State Park off of Hwy. 97.





Not as much traffic as we expected driving through Madras to Andrea and Bill's house on the Deschutes River.  I thought it was going to be more of a cabin!!!!!...wrong.





View from their deck




The turkey vultures roost across from us at night




There are lots of Ospreys and nests here because there are lots of fish for them.


We walk up the road to see how the traffic is on Hwy 26.  Each time we are surprised how little traffic there is.  On the way back down the hill I stop at the overlook.




I am practicing with the filter in front of my camera for the eclipse.  Tomorrow is the 'Big' day.  There are big fires around and we are hoping it isn't smokey tomorrow.
