summer vacation

Matt and I set a goal this year to "vacation" more. Oh sure we have always taken vacations from work but for the most part we stay home and worked on stuff or we travel to/with family. Don't get me wrong family is great but in our 16 years of marriage I don't think we have gone on more then 4 vacations alone and they have all been weekend trips. So we are down in Oregon vacationing! Thanks to Randy and Lisa for letting us borrow their tent trailer we get to stay for a whole week!


We packed everything up over the weekend and took off at 10am Monday morning. After a few quick stops (gas, back home to fix the tail light, the dive shop, Costco, Safeway), and a medium length drive, we arrived at Clear Lake Resort in Oregon by 7:30pm. According to Google maps the trip should take about 6 hours with traffic from our house to the resort.

We had just enough time look out across the lake once, find a "rustic" campsite to park the trailer in and set up for the night.


After having some sandwiches and chips for dinner, we played a couple games and went to bed.


We started our first day by getting up at the crack of dawn (6am) and went for a brisk scuba dive (Lake temperature was 40°)


The lake is accurately named, visibility was VERY good (just a guess- 75' to 100')
