ccandalex: Union Creek Resort - Prospect, Oregon CC and I...

Union Creek Resort.

Our cottage in the forest.

Well-appointed lodging.

The resort sits about 25 miles outside of Crater Lake National Park.

Beckie's, a local landmark.

Union Creek Resort - Prospect, Oregon

CC and I hopped in the car and drove out of Portland without a plan. We don’t usually behave so spontaneously, and we bickered a bit along the way, but finally decided that if we were going to keep driving we might need to pick a destination and then eventually go there. We had heard about Crater Lake, didn’t know much about it or its surrounding areas but committed ourselves to winging it.

We stopped for coffee in Bend, Oregon, and made a call to a place we found on Google. The time was 5:45pm and the manager made it clear he was closing for the night at 8pm. He was confident we would make it in time and we struck out on a course into parts unknown.

We arrived at a junction called Union Creek near Prospect, Oregon, which offered a nice traveler’s rest, with lodgings large enough for families, couples and dorm-style rooms for backpackers. We found it nice to spend a night without television, which forced us into having a conversation.

There was a general store on site where you could load up on souvenirs, foodstuffs and maps. And breakfast, lunch and dinner was served at Beckie’s, a rustic cafe famous for its menu of homemade pies, just across the road. We spent only one night at the resort and ate dinner and breakfast at Beckie’s, which were fantastic discoveries, but honestly paled in comparison to what sights and sounds we found at Crater Lake National Park.

Do we head to the meadows or the cabin?

Lots of bridges on this trail

Xcountry ski markers aren't that much good unless up in a tree

Parking was much easier the day after camping...

Action shot! The trail maintenance crew improvements are not perfect yet...

Goal attained

Beautiful sunset over Thunder Mountain et al.

Pretty good sunrise looking over town

monknomo:

We went camping up at Spaulding Meadows the last sunny weekend. Really nice hike, nice cabin and the best weather I’ve seen since April. We met a lot of friendly folks on the trail out enjoying the sun.

houseofwindsor:

The Queen’s oldest corgi, Monty has passed away at 13 years. Thank you for giving us cute attacks during your appearance in the James Bond Video. Monty was also previously owned by the Queen Mother.

“The palace confirmed the death of Monty and of Cider, a dorgi, or dachsund-corgi cross-breed. At present the Queen owns two dorgis called Candy and Vulcan and two other Pembroke Welsh corgis called Willow and Holly, who are all descended from a dog she was given for her 18th birthday, who was called Susan.

Monty was named after Monty Roberts, the American subject of a BBC documentary, A Real Horse Whisperer.

Roberts, 77, who advises the Queen on horses and corgis, has reportedly offered her a corgi puppy to carry on the tradition.”

RIP Monty. Thanks for sharing him in the Olympics video.

So sad about the Queens Monty :(. I met Monty Roberts once when he was doing demonstrations in the UK, back when I was looking after horses.

I used to work for Patty Clarkson, one of the most brilliant horsewomen in the world. Used to look after Zabrod, a Russian Stallion who was given to her by Nuno Oliviera as she was the only one he trusted to ride him. Hard times/fun times.
