On November 22nd we received a package of fruit and vegetables in the mail from Eastern Oregon - WOW! This shot shows only part of the bounty. Just in time for Thanksgiving Dinner cooking.

For Thanksgiving Day we joined with 23 or so friends at Twin Bears Camp (Google it) at Milepost 30 on the Chena Hot Springs Road for a dinner that could not possibly have been beat! The first photo in this row shows one friend and her husky dog. The second photo shows the dinner table all set up for eating! There was every traditional Thanksgiving Dinner food that you can think of and some untraditional ones! The company was as fine as was the food! An amazing time was had by all.

On Friday the 25th, the day after Thanksgiving, most people stayed at Twin Bears Camp, but we headed for Chena Hot Springs at around noon. The first shot in this row shows a strange kind of halo part way around the sun. The second shot shows the lake at Twin Bears and the hockey and ice-skating rink which we spent several hours shoveling off on Thursday. The third shot shows a few of the buildings at Twin Bears Camp. The remainder of the folks also came out to Chena Hot Springs later in the afternoon. We all met there once again and then we all went back to Twin Bears for supper. After that Kazuya and I headed for home, but several of the people stayed at Twin Bears until Saturday.

These three shots were all taken as we walked around the Chena Hot Springs resort area. Amazingly beautiful snowy scenery, would you not agree?

The first and third shots in this row show what the resort calls the "Rock Lake", probably because they have surrounded it with huge rocks. Look at all of the people enjoying the hot water. Oh, by the way, the outside temperature here was about -10 F = -23 C. Quite cold, but not terrible. The center shot is another snowy scenery shot.

The first shot here shows ice crystal growth on one of the rocks surrounding the "Rock Lake". The center shot is another of the "Rock Lake". The third photo is of a hot pool that is unused for anything.
