Cheryl's News from Camp Webegone

Rich and I

Wednesday, June 17th, we have a day off. A day to be lazy. A day to eat and read to our heart's content. Back before we started camp hosting, when Rich and I would go camping, we called it going to eat and read, because that was how most of our time was spent.

On this break, in the afternoon after a long period of reading, we walk from camp to Natural Bridge. We walk along the Rouge River. Decades ago, in prelitigation era, the path, a small portion of which still exists,

Old Path

took you to the river's edge. You could sit and dip your toes in the water. You could walk across the natural bridge. Those days are long gone. However, for adventurous campers at Natural Bridge Campground, it is still an option. 

Still, there is a trade-off to doing so. Sitting at the river's edge, you miss the spectacular falls.

The main reason I wanted to walk this particular trail (deer trail for the most part), is there is a better view of the Rogue River entering the lava tube tunnel.

Into the Tunnel

Unfortunately, it's real hard to capture what's happening in a pic. Dang. But what you are seeing in the above pic is the river flowing under the log then into the tunnel.

After spending a leisurely time at Natural Bridge, we meander home to camp. Dinner is pan-fried pork chops, steamed yams served with a bit of butter and brown sugar and salad. The last of the salad until Tuesday. Dinner followed with reading while sitting outside in the meshed shelter until it is too dark to read. A wonderful meal and enjoyable books to close a wonderful day off.
