A Hiking trip with friends at Fall River Lapine Oregon

Four Friends with a love of hiking, have decided to get back into the outdoors, It is fall and maybe a little bit drippy or maybe just a bit chilly and cloudy. No matter because it is not too hot and there are no mosquitoes. The photographer never ends up in the photo but that is ok we will find a way to make it happen.

The trolls thought it was a great idea to get out and go hiking, their lizards not so much, in the end the trolls stayed in the nice warm backpack and the lizards stayed at home.

We started at the bridge where a lot of fly fishermen were fishing. the plan was to go down stream for a mile or so then come back. Unfortunately for me, the photographer, I quickly realized that I had not packed the backup batteries, and the camera battery was low, so photos would be limited. My hiking partners Susan, Geri, and Robin, would be my focus with a few shots of the river thrown in and a prayer that the battery lasted.

Yes !!! We did manage to get the photographer in a picture…. Thanks Geri for taking the shot….
While it was gray and we did get a raindrop or two on us it was bright and light so there were a lot of squinty eyes in the photos….

A little waterfall coming over the logs that had fallen into the river provided lots of good hiding places for the fish to hide.

There were a lot of little details and nature that begged to be photographed but I chose to catch them another day. This mushroom put on top of a stump by a critter was just too much to resist. I knew that we were nearly back to the parking lot so I could use up some of the battery without fear of missing the best photo ever….

After about an hour and a half we ended up back at the bridge where we started…
It was another Great Hike Where to Next Gals?
