Camping: Rock Creek CG on Crane Prairie Reservoir

First family camp trip for Abbie and PJ.  We went with some neighbor friends of ours (the Gillettes) to Rock Creek campground on Crane Prairie Reservoir in the Cascade Mountains.  Just one night but a fun time even though it was a bit of a cold night.  Here are a few pictures around camp.

On Saturday afternoon we did a hike to Lucky Lake.  Preston gave it a good go but I ended up carrying him most of the way:)

In the winter they do not plow the roads past Mount Bachelor. Then around mid may usually before Memorial Day weekend they get the roads clear. Still lots of snow on the peaks and beside the roads but makes for a nice drive. Today we left bend, and it was 73 degrees. Up past Mt Bachelor it got down to 52 so a 20 degree drop from town only 20 minutes away.
