Right now, I am holed up in a little trailer on the Blitzen River outside of Frenchglen, Oregon.
The cabin is rustic, but it’s a lot more convenient than camping. Given that the rain has been coming down intermittently, this was certainly a good call. Reliable cover, heat, electricity and a bathroom with a flush toilet… not a bad deal.
These little swallows are nesting right near by. They apparently form large communities because there is a whole swarm of them in this area and we saw another large group over by Buena Vista (about 30 miles to the North).
