Road Trip
| Hosmer Lake/Central Oregon Cascades
 My recent adventure found me on Hosmer Lake in a tandem kayak with
Pippin, my Golden-on-the-Go. He wasn't a helpful paddler, but made a
striking bow ornament. We set out with a small group of adventurers
toward Quinn Creek and its resplendent waterfall. We paddled past the
lily pads across the southern portion of the lake and through Mallard
Marsh, where we could clearly see schools of trout taunting nearby
anglers. When
we left the reeds bordering the fishing we popped out into a shallow
stretch of lake, ankle deep in some spots and a stunning light emerald
color. Read more here. |
