Late Season Camping Trip…

Posted October 1st, 2008 in camping, Milagros News, Outside of Portland

Summer has been dragging out – WOO HOO! So we did a papa-daughter camping trip this past weekend. Our destintation? Champoeg State Park!
We went the easy route and rented a cabin. The weather was perfect and the park had a lot to offer but the real draw is the family-friendly bike riding in the park and surrounding area. We biked for miles, took a dip in the Willamette (you wouldn’t recognize it down there!), picked blackberries, did all our cooking over a fire pit, and just had a very relaxing time.
The park is only 45 minutes from Portland but a world away, camping is available there year-round…so we hope to hit again sooner than later. Here are some pics courtesy of Jon Maus. Click on them for a larger view
