August 2020 Klamath camping/coast bouldering, Pearsony Falls, Illinois River, Waldo Lake and Goodbye Elko

The drive to the coast is very beautiful

Nasturtiums. We found this cute campsite after not being able to find the primitive site. 

Banana slug

They had a large garden and chickens!

clean up crew

about half mile down the road was the ocean. We took the boys on a hike through boulders, driftwood and grey sand. 

It was bit steep getting over the hill to this spot. On the way back we slid down the sand.

It was perfect for bouldering and perfect for kids because they had a lot of flat sand to explore

The same day we drove to fern canyon. although touristy, it wasn't too bad once inside. It was so pretty!

I brought several changes of clothes for the boys. they couldn't resist the water

pink tomatoes and raspberries

avocado pit progress

bunny masks from Grandma

treehouse in progress

Smokey and sunflowers

short daytrip to Pearsony falls. It's only about 45 mins away

poor grass gets so brown...but the garden is still green

quinoa and pumpkins

all the grapes you could want

more quinoa

Illinois River for camping.

always so warm and clear

we camped across after Jamir floated the stuff over

morning. We didn't sleep that much because we kept hearing something in the water. My only thought was an otter.

and then around 11 some people came and tried to take our spot. When we left we saw tons of cars everywhere. It turned out to be a very hot day and attracted people. Glad we had it to ourselves the night and morning.

Waldo Lake. It was colder than we hoped, but refreshing after all the hot

Jamir brought this and assembled. I was a little worried we would have to swim our kids to shore

sunflower outside our bedroom window

pickled peppers and cucumbers, tomatoe soup. (which has been wonderful this winter)

sunflower and rose of sharon. It is a wonderful bush that blooms through November
