Hiking adventures in Oregon! John and I walked around the Beazell Memorial Forest in Philomath near Corvallis, and we also trekked up Spencer Butte in Eugene. View our photos and hear about our adventures.

John and I explore Oregon Wine Country in 3 different ways: At the estate (Cardwell Hill Cellars), at the urban winery (Oregon Wine Lab), and at the wine club in the country (Sarver Winery) all between Corvallis, Philomath, and Eugene.

Manning Park Dark Sky Astronomy Weekend: Manning Park has several stargazingand astrophotography locations, from Windy Joe Field to the Cascade Lookout. Spot comets, asteroids, constellations, galaxies, and more!

Adventures continue at Homfray Lodge! I spent most of the the day kayaking while John had some down time reading on the dock at this all inclusive resort along the remote waters of world-renown Desolation Sound.

Setting Sail to a Secluded Resort in Desolation Sound with Pacific Coastal Cruises: Departing Lund, on the Sunshine Coast, and traveling by boat to Homfray Lodge. Part one of my multi-day series about my stay.
