"X" marks the spot where we spent a lovely evening last week . We tied our boat to a tree stump on Amazon Creek -- one of several creeks that flow into Fern Ridge Reservoir (Lake) . It was the perfect spot for a quiet supper and some watery reflections.
(Sharing this post at NATURE FOOTSTEPS where you will find watery pictures from all over the world.)
Here's a map of the Lake, courtesy of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. We are staying at Fern Ridge Shores. Our daughter and son-in-law live on the other side of the Lake, less than a mile from Orchard Park (but a little further by road).
Oh that looks so lovely..it is so hot and dry here...

Wow, what a great area! Sounds like a great evening for you two.

I know you flew across country this year so does that mean you have two boats. Kind of hard to tow a boat by airplane.
Regardless it is a lovely spot and I can understand your wanting to spend some time there.

It really is a beautiful lake. Got skeeters though? Some of the area looks like it might be a good breeding ground for 'em.
