Spring run

What caught my eye about this creek crossing, was the tree that overhangs it.

Spring brings full rivers and other tributaries; as well as beautiful colors to enjoy! 

Smith River and Redwoods

Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, just inland a few miles from Crescent City, California, has a trail my boys and I followed that led to the Smith River.

Here, we spent a good portion of our camping day - which included hiking and my youngest son learning to swim. 

Clouds and the Columbia River

Looking east from a bluff toward the town of Longview, this view entails both Washington on the left, and Oregon on the right - separated by the 1240+ mile long Columbia River..

..in the distance you can perhaps make out the Lewis and Clark bridge which connects travelers from Longview to Rainier and highway 30.
