A Mountain Hearth

Tales of Modern Homesteading and Outdoor Adventure

August 3, 2015

Riverside Camp

At the end of a hot August day, camped out by the river is the best place to be. My newest needle felted wall hanging is a McKenzie River camping scene, with a crackling campfire at sunset and the Three Sisters watching over. With the recent heatwave, we’ve been exploring good riverside campsites and have found some gems. Last weekend, we traveled over the mountains to the Metolius River and camped out at the confluence with Canyon Creek. Yesterday, we hiked up the upper stretches of Canyon Creek to Canyon Creek Meadows below Three Fingered Jack, and there will be more on that to come. In this hot weather, I am thankful to live close to cold, clear mountain rivers.

It is my hope to share ideas and inspiration, and strengthen connections with the land and wild places. Read More…
