Hopefully My First Won’t Be My Last
This holiday has been full of “firsts” for me, starting with my first attempt to blog (the one you are currently reading) and continuing with my first trip in the infamous RV (currently dangerously dangling over a steep crevasse somewhere in the hills of the Willamette National Forest)
The only familiar thing is my brother’s face and his unwavering ability to find adventure. Some people go in search thereof, and others have adventure thrust upon them. I’m part of the latter category which is a direct result of the fact that Andre belongs to the first.
I am the long lost sister living in South Africa and finally having the opportunity to visit my dear brother in his RV. It started with a family reunion as Andre had mentioned in
Napa To Oregon
Now in Terrebonne Oregon, Mareli and I plan to do a lot of climbing at Smith Rock over the next couple of weeks. It is amazing how much snow is still on the cascade volcanoes compared to the even higher mountains just South in California. Oregon had a big winter season as is evident in the strong flow of the Rogue River which is fed from the snow on Mount Mazama (Crater Lake). While staying at the beautiful Natural Bridge Campground we enjoyed short excursions to Crater Lake and the Natural Bridge in the Rogue right next to our camp site.
