We recently spent a weekend in South Oregon, where we split our days between Crater Lake National Park and Umpqua National Forest. Crater Lake is not easy to get to (a regional flight, a 2 hour drive to the Airbnb, another hour long drive to the NP) so we wanted to make sure we packed the entire day to see everything there is to see!

I recently discovered a new product called the Release N Run leash by Rad Dog! As many of you know, we spend every sunrise on the beach with our chocolate lab Ty. On the weekends, we usually spend the entire day at the beach if we are not out hiking!
