Multnomah Falls and 115 Degree Temp w/Best Friends

I was so excited to meet up with Lynne and Eric Ogren – my best friends from Oak Harbor. Barry and I had an incredible visit with them when they lived in Wrangell, Alaska.

Beach Time Before Desert Time

We have always enjoyed an occasional escape to Silver Strand State Beach.
