Lake Owyhee Oregon

Eliza has been asking to go camping for quite some time. We finally made the plans and picked out a state park in Oregon. It is only about an hour and half from home and they had a tee-pee we could rent to sleep in. George had just gotten home from a scout camp and opted to stay home this time. We were excited for the adventure and the original plan was to stay a couple of days. The road to get there was a little knuckle clenching at times. It is a very remote location with a one lane road most of the way in. There is a beautiful lake surrounded by rocky mountains and plenty of water and exploring to do. We were the only family without a boat, but Thomas being the socialite he is, got to go boating with the campers across the way. We played Frisbee and did a little geocaching, and swam a lot. It was super hot, 103, the day we arrived. The tee-pee turned out to be a hot box so there wasn't a lot of relief from the heat at night. We had a great time but decided to cut the trip short and not endure the heat of the devil another night. Eliza was sad to go but swam up until the very minute it was time to leave. The day I have a boat and an RV with air conditioning I will definitely go back!

The tee-pee was pretty cool
