Trip Report

For those of you who pooh-poohed the idea that there would be snow at Bachelor in mid-April - you missed some great skiing/snow-shoeing! According to the local ski experts, the snow was the best they've had all season!

This was a multi-sport weekend. We hiked Paulina Creek, Smith Rocks, and along the Deschutes (Benham and Dillon Falls area), and we skied and snow-shoed at Mt. Bachelor/Todd Lake. The highlight at Smith Rock was seeing a golden eagle and later, seeing and hearing two Canada geese who thought they were eagles - they sat up in the cliffs and made a terrible fuss. It was also quite interesting watching the large number of climbers scale the cliffs.

In the evenings, we played a very fun game called "Taboo" and then another night, Stewart demonstrated his prowess at Trivia Pursuit - he knew 80% of the answers and the rest of us combined knew 20%. Just sitting around reading or in the hot tub was very relaxing. And of course, eating was always a highlight - Anne's tiramisu was scrumptious!

Thanks to all for a great long weekend at the first annual Obsidian Sunriver Escape: Anne Bonine, Kathy and Stewart Hoeg, Richard Hughes, Bob Huntley, Jack O'Donnell, Leila Snow, Nancy Whitfield, and coordinator Lana Lindstrom. <img border="2" src="images/ll20050419-0171.jpg" width="640" height="510">
