My 2008 Pleasureway's Maiden Voyage up the West Coast
Summer 2008
Friday, June 20, 2008 cont'd
After exiting the park at the north, I doubled back a few miles on Hwy 62 as I wanted to view some waterfalls (National Creek Falls, Natural Bridge and Rogue
Gorge...), which I did. Back to the north I took Hwy 138 to Watson Falls at milepost 61-the 272 foot waterfall which is the 4th largest in Oregon. Quite
breathtaking. Also visited Whitehorse and Clearwater Falls.
By then it was approaching 4 p.m. so I headed back along 138 to Diamond Lake and had a pizza for supper. Then I headed directly to Redmond via Hwy 97 and
Crooked River RV park--another story.
The pictures above and just below are of various falls all within a view miles of each other and each accessible by car, though a couple require a few minutes by
trail to get to them.
One might say that to see one falls is to see them all, but that's not quite true. Each has its own un-capturable beauty

After a I headed up to Portland for Liam and Si's wedding reception (another story). It was quite a hot day but the shade of the park helped
to make it feel comfortable. It was quite a gathering. The hundred or so attendees settled into comfortable groups to enjoy the repast.
