Diary 8/30/13

Went to the top of the Rogue-Umpqua divide today, overlooking the head waters of the South Umpqua River. There had been a large hot burn there in 2009, and many burnt areas throughout the vistas, but it was still a beautiful area just one drainage north from ours. We ( my husband, my son, and I)were there to scope out deer hunting areas, but on the way back down we found incredible huckleberries. After being discouraged with our picking on Wednesday, it was hopeful to fine such nice big and tasty berries even if it was three hours away! While they hiked, I picked like a maniac. There were so many and sooo big! Anyway, a great adventure with a lovely bonus.
