Family

One of the reasons Rich and I are hosting in the Salem, Oregon area is to be withing a reasonable driving range of family. I forgot that my first husband's family were early settlers in Monmouth and Independence, Oregon area. The park where we are currently hosting is about 15 minutes from Monmouth.

From Smoke to Flood

Almost normal river level

The tide is high

During the recent heavy rainfall the Luckiamute River level rose close to flood stage. The rising river did flow over the river trail cutting off sections of the path. Our site remained dry.
