Loeb State Park - Chetco River

We had a great weekend with our friends Daniel and Janette (we were firefighters on the same crew in 2001 & 2002). We chose to come hear for three reasons: 1) we have never been there 2) steelhead fishing 3) hiking. It was a 2.5hr drive from Ashland. We arrived Friday night to our little cabin in Loeb State Park after dropping my friend Kira off at her grandma's house in Brookings for the weekend.


Trey and Daniel got up bright and early to fish. Trey caught a native steelhead and threw it back. He was stoked on the catch. The guys saw elk and a bald eagle.


The weather was AMAZING! I was in a t-shirt and jeans on Saturday exploring the gorgeous crystal clear/turquoise Chetco River. We did a nice hike near the cabin. It went through some redwoods.


On Sunday we stopped by the beach right by Brookings.

Trey and Janette went for a swim in the ocean.

BRRRRRRRR
Good weekend with good friends!

So that is what you did that weekend. It looks like you had fun, too. Deborah or whoever took the pictures sure has a good eye for capturing the moment. The swimmers in the cold water picture give me a chill just looking at it. But each to his or her own. Thank you for sharing.
