In May we go from Idaho to Oregon!
Antelope Reservoir, west of Jordan Valley, Oregon
Rather than head directly west through Burns and then to Bend, Oregon, the crew and I take a round-about route, going south to the small town of Jordan Valley. From there we turn westward and camp at isolated Antelope Reservoir in a small, peaceful, free campground.
No one is camped here but us!

The next leg of our journey is a dreamy drive through low mountains followed by a flat landscape of sage. This is truly “getting away from it all!”
Highway 78 heading toward the northern end of the Steen Mountain Range
We make our camp on the south side of Prineville Reservoir.
A pretty spot for playtime and lounging. (Bridget runs under the BLT to avoid camera.)
The reservoir is east of Bend, Oregon. Prineville State Park is on the other side of the reservoir. I’d rather we camp by ourselves on this side.
Next we camp on the Fall River, south of Bend.

In the morning we discover it snowed!
Bridget and Reggie have friends over to play.
Lots of fun for the pups!
Reggie and Samantha play tag while Bridget referees.
Julie the dachshund knows better than to enter this zoom-a-thon!
We move to another campsite at Fall River Campground.
Reflections on a frosty morning, viewed from our campsite
Friends take us around La Pine State Park and lead us on trails. We rest by a waterfall.
A short drive takes us to another pretty campground among pines.
Pringle Falls Campground, northwest of La Pine, Oregon
Bridget, Reggie, and I hurry down to the river’s edge.
Our next camp is along meandering Odell Creek at Davis Lake.
East Davis Lake Campground, northwest of Crescent, Oregon, Deschutes National Forest
Odell Creek — Do you know the names of those snowy peaks in the background?
We move our camp to a boondock at the north end of Davis Lake.
Reggie tears into his toy. Bridget hides under the Best Little Trailer.
It’s time to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells (oh, those pines!), and touch of nature, off by ourselves, just the three of us.
Bridget proudly leads us home at the end of morning walk.
Our month of May review comes to a close with sunlight through the pines.
