Trail of Ten Falls,  Wedding Rehearsal

Up early.  Nice weather but was going to be warm.  Needed to get into the first part of our day while it was cool.  We drove to Silver Falls State Park.  Very pretty place.  Oregon’s largest and among the nicest.  We took a walk.  Slightly less than ten miles.  There is a trail that loops through lots of beautiful forest and along the way passes by and in some cases behind ten different waterfalls.  We had done this trail before but it could probably be done monthly and never get old.  Took us just over four hours.

The park visitor area includes a lodge built in the ‘30s by CCC workers.  Amazing craftsmanship.  The furniture in the lodge was constructed using the wood from two Myrtle trees.  Beautiful.  In use every day and it looks as new as the items in the Myrtlewood factories and stores we saw on the coast.

Home to clean up and then off to Katie Glovers wedding rehearsal.  We hope to do video and snapshot type photos of the wedding and Katies folks invited us to the rehearsal to see the layout and then to the rehearsal dinner.  We had a good time then back to carbus to download days pictures and charge batteries.
