Welcome to Klamath Falls!

This is Klamath Falls! On our first Saturday in our new home, which happened to be July 4th, we went on a morning hike up "Hog's Back", the hill right above Klamath Falls.
Here's a view of the Basin where we live.
Mt. Shasta is in the background. It has snow on it year round.
The Lake in the background is Klamath Lake, the largest lake in Oregon... and probably the dirtiest... But it sure is beautiful!

There were SO many wildflowers.
It's hard to see, but on James' finger is a frog. The evening this photo was taken, the boys were for some reason having a hard time falling asleep. When we went in to check on them, there was a frog in Peter's bed! We have NO clue how it got there.
Our first experience camping in Oregon was a bloody one.... There were SOOOOO many moscquitos! But luckily there are no holes in our tent, and we had plenty of wood to make a huge fire. This is Cold Springs, close to Sky Lakes Wilderness Area.
This is one of the Lakes....
A few weeks later we went to Shasta Lake. Our friends came up a day early, and as they were driving the boat to the campsite, they saw a black bear SWIMMING across it! They waited for it to cross, then kept on coming!

Our wonderful friends, Miya and Ty, and Tyler and Zane.
On the way back from Shasta Lake we stopped at the coolest Motel!!! It was a Motel made out of real cabooses! IT was so fun to walk around. IN the back ground is Castle Crags.


Welcome to Oregon!
