First few weeks in Oregon...

Oh man we love it here, It is so pretty. We have spent some time hiking and looking around some of the state parks in the area and enjoying every minute of it. Yesterday we went to a lava cave about 30 miles from Redmond. You walk under ground about a mile in the pitch black you have to take lanterns or flash lights. It was very cold and wet and took about 1.5 hrs to get to the end of the cave and back out again. I have found my favorite hiking place already, it is called Smith Rock and it is about 5 miles North of Redmond. Here are a few pics from our last hike.

Harry is loving his job so far. He has traveled around to several fire stations this past week to meet the people that he will be working with. He gets a Ford F350 pickup truck at the end of next week provided by the State. He is in hog heaven and 100% in his element. I know he will do an outstanding job in this new position.

Kelcey and I spend a better part of last week in Spokane visiting with my parents. Spent a few days out at the cabin and enjoyed the peace and quiet. I helped my Dad put the railing back on the deck at the cabin.
