It’s only been a week, but what a difference that has made.
We enjoyed clear sky and spring-like weather for the first time in months. Well, it seems like months.
This season has started to shift, bringing on a typical Central Oregon spring . . . that is, frigid mornings with warm afternoons.
It’s about time.
We headed to the Crooked River, and while layers were still required attire, the camp chairs and picnic at river’s edge were a welcome change.
No fish were caught, but a good time was had by all.
Runoff has started. It will fill streams and hamper fishing, but the weather it seems will not interfere with our outings . . . at least for a while.
And with that we’ll get back out into the High Desert.
