Bowl of Diamond Peak

Bowl of Diamond Peak

I am so happy that you have the internet again.  But you haven’t updated your page.  What is up with that?  We are back at Shelter Cove.  The weather is so nice right now.   I am sad that we have to leave our house again because school starts tomorrow.  Sad.  But it has been a nice week off.  Did you see the pictures I sent of the hike that we did. It was so nice.  There was a huge thunderstorm.  I am sure you must have had one in Bend as well.  The first night we hiked in their was lighting and then thunder very quick right after.  It was a little scary.  We got the tent set up just in time, because it started to rain right after that.  The next morning it was sunny and beautiful.  We hike all day and then we stayed the night at the base of Diamond Peak.  Again we got the tent set up and it started to rain right after that.  Hung out and read some books, which by the way I have another recommendation.  But back to the hike. The second night it was scary up there because it was another thunderstorm.  And we were in a stand of trees.  You would see the flash of lighting and then it would rumble through the bowl of the mountain.  You could feel it in your bones.  I did not sleep so well, plus we had our food next to the tent and not up in a tree so I was scared that a bear was going to come.  Long night.  But next morning beautiful.  I’ll stop blathering but it was really nice.  I put some pictures on here for you to if you didn’t get to see them already.  Enjoy.  

 

Question of the week.   Let’s see.   What is your favorite meal?  That’s a pretty easy one.  I”ll call you later.
