We set off rather late in the afternoon on Friday to find a camp site at Trillium Lake near Mt. Hood (who happens to be quite bald looking this time of the year! *gasp!*)... only to find that the campground was FULL... so we opted for the over-flow campground (which happened to be CLOSED but with the gate swung wide open and a few other happy camp-ers setting up camp). We didn't have the lake view, but we got a flowin' creek! It was actually quite awesome. Funny, it was called "Still Creek" b'cuz there wasn't anything still about it. :D Sadly we only got to camp for one night due to other obligations back in town (thankfully a short and beautiful 1.25 hr. ride) ...I will say more about this lovely time if I can grab the chance, but for now I just want to get some photos up for you all to enjoy.
We found a nice private place along the creek (within our HUGE campsite) to set up our tent:
Our campsite was surrounded by huckleberry bushes. They were delicious in the oatmeal Saturday morning. :)
