There are miles and miles of trails here, and we've done a bunch of 'em. Earlier this afternoon we took the trail down to the trash and recycling (it's a really nice trail!!) and then headed off on a bit longer hike into the woods. Gorgeous. My mom is meeting…

I love our spot here at Stub Stewart State Park! It's huge! (This photo doesn't really show how huge it is. I'll take another one later.) Oregon state parks are the best. This one is particularly great because every spot has full hookups (yay! long showers!), the sites are LARGE,…
