The Adventures Of Rosie & Daisy At Drift Creek Falls

Yesterday we were getting ready to go for what we thought was a walk around the park, or maybe a trip to Petco, but to our surprise wound up at Drift Creek Falls in Lincoln City, Oregon.  It took about an hour to get there, but it was worth the wait. We’ve put on a few pounds over the winter, so we are doing our best to get out and get some exercise. (Plus mom has put on a few extra pounds too, but don’t tell her we said so!).

When we first got out of the car, we were wondering why so many people were there with shoes covered in mud. They had smiles on their faces though, so we were not too worried.  We started walking down a path through the woods. Pretty soon we were walking through mud up to our bellies. There was a lot of great stuff to look at though, so we kept going. We practically dragged our mom down the hill we were so excited!

Once in a while we’d see other people or dogs along the trail. We eventually came to a really long suspension bridge. Some guys rocked it when we were in the middle. Yikes! But we kept our calm and didn’t panic. Shortly after that, we arrived at a very big waterfall.  We made it!

As we made our way back up the trail, we took it a little slower. We took the time to greet the people and dogs that passed us on their way down the trail. We waited for Tia to take pictures too.

The entire hike was 3 miles, so we were pooped when we got back to the car. Naturally we slept all the way home and after a nice warm bath, we spend the evening on the couch underneath the throw blanket.

Oregon is a beautiful place and we can’t wait for our next big adventure! Check out this link for more info: http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/siuslaw/recreation/tripplanning/tillnewp/trails/driftcreekfalls1378.shtml
