In this time of the pandemic, we decided to get out for a couple of two-week trips, one in August and then another trip to Utah in September. We kept our social distancing and wore our masks where needed. Getting COVID would sure hamper our traveling!

In August, traveling with Ann and Bruce, we stayed at several parks with widely spaced sites in Oregon. Our first stop was Collier State Park in southern Oregon. It is a beautiful state park in the pines with a clear stream and a logging museum across the highway. It’s a short drive to Crater Lake NP where we hiked the Garfield Peak trail.

The next stop was Schwartz Park, below Dorena Lake, an Army Corps of Engineers reservoir on the Row River. We hiked and rode our bicycles on beautiful paths and explored a number of covered bridges.

We then stayed a couple of nights in an RV park on Dexter Lake and met our OAT travel friends, Bonnie and Neil, first for socially distanced wine tasting and the next day a beautiful hike in one of the many Oregon forests.

Our last campground was Sunnyside County Park, on Foster Lake. Here we met Lu and Joe for a distanced dinner and another beautiful hike in a county park noted for waterfalls. We had great weather as you can see from the images.
