Sharp's Travels

About 10am this morning we went down to the post office to check on our mail. It didn’t come! They are not open on Saturdays but the gal said if Gay came down at 10 am in the morning and knocked on the door she would let him in and would check to see if our mail is there. That is sure nice of her.

We went back to the RV Park and I started some laundry and Gay re-did the back of the sofa. The factory guys hadn’t got it back together just right. It was a major redo!

We had lunch and then decided to try and find the Salt Creek Falls. It was about 40 miles from here. They are the second tallest falls in Oregon. We found the observation parking lot but the road up to the summit was closed. We hiked about 1 mile STRAIGHT UP and found NO FALLS. We did find the railroad tracks clear at the top. There was lots of snow along the road. We were disappointed and when we got back down to the parking lot and headed out we saw another road off to our left that was closed and snow covered and wondered if the falls could be down that road. As we turned onto the main highway we decided to drive down the road further and see if there was another entrance to the falls. We had to go through a tunnel carved through the rocks on the highway. That was a neat site. We turned around and headed back and Gay spotted the falls through the trees along the highway. We pulled off the road and waded through the woods in the snow to the falls. WOW! What a beautiful falls. It was certainly worth everything we been through. We got a number of pictures. Hope they do justice to the falls.

We met two other couples there that had waded down the closed, snow covered road to get to the falls. We all hiked back out to the highway, jumped in the truck and were on our way back to the 5th wheel.

For a day that we thought would be uneventful, it sure turned out just great.
