We had the opportunity to head to the town of Sisters in central Oregon for the weekend. Melissa’s cousin invited us to join them in a family-owned vacation home there. On Saturday morning we ventured out for a short hike to see the “riverhead” of a local river (natural spring). Then we headed down to the fish hatchery. There are so many fish in this little place. Fun to throw food to them and watch ‘em swarm. After a nice picnic and walk around the pond, we re-loaded the cars and headed to “Scout Lake” for some swimming fun. It is a nice little lake for summer swimming like this. However…yikes there were a lot of rocks on the bottom. Sheesh. Walking without water shoes was a bad idea. I was also able to do some open-water swimming training for the triathlon coming up. It was nice to do so in such a pristine place. Oregon has lots of hidden treasures. Thanks, Pearsons, for a great weekend!
