Oregon Coast 4
Creek/River, Forest, Lake/Reservoir, Mountains, National Forest land, National Monument, National Park, Ocean, River, Wildlife
Trip Date: September 20, 2021
I believe this was our 4th trip up the Oregon Coast in 4 successive years (except last year because we went to Death Valley with Haley and Brett to look at a possible wedding venue), if you count the first trip, which was technically to Jedediah Smith State Park, but we did cross the border…
Hart Hill; Just Me, the Mousy, and the Cranes
Trip Date: September 13, 2021
This was the only chance I had to come up in September, with all of Haley’s wedding events going on and our trip up the Oregon Coast. Mike always has a busy October Fest music calendar, even in the insane Pandemic and the Delta variant outbreak. So, it was just me and Irene, and the…
Hart Hill, Bob’s Cabin Construction
Trip Date: 8/31/2021

Hart Hill, Solo Perseids Meteor Shower
Trip Date: 8/11/2021

Hart Hill; The Nighthawks Are Back
Trip Date: June 12, 2021
Mike, Bob, and I were planning to head up to the property a little later this week, but stuff and things were happening all over. We finally settled on these dates, and then Mike still ended up playing music so it was just me and Bob. Mike called to say he could come up Tuesday,…
