Iron Mountain

 We had a fun camp at River Bend Campground near Sweet Home. Several of our kids met us there and we had a little "tent city." One morning Bill, Megan, Anne and I got up very early to hike to the top of Iron Mountain before everyone was awake. It was magical! There were so many wildflowers, and the view from the top was stunning!

Unfortunately, I fell and broke my ankle and tore off two tendons. I had to walk out, and I was never so glad to see the car! I had surgery the next day!
