Father's Day weekend: Scott, Helen, and Ender traveled from Kirkland. We got to see them Saturday and Sunday; Dianne and 'her man' Mike also came Sunday.
Scott sat with his Dad and related some of the adventures and vacations they had in Scott's youth. Camping trips, some with the Scout troop. One in the snow, and snowshoeing. Family camping at Blue Lake. River trips, with white water rafts, kayaks, or jet boats. The hard work of a snow ski lesson at Mount Bachelor, without a tow rope, and having to walk up the hill for just a short slide down. Bicycling while camping at Silver Creek Falls (and not remembering he stopped his father's heart when he sped right across the highway without so much as a glance for any traffic). Horses at Sunriver and at Kahneetah. A week in Washington DC. College campus tours in California.
Dianne remembered Pamela Lake, which brought up the question, where is that? Google Maps revealed it as Santiam Pass, between Detroit and Marion Forks, the southwest foot of Mount Jefferson. Easy walk for them as kids. Something about a big log in the water - I think they all climbed up and it spun them into the water.
Memories.
