We took the short trip to Lincoln City, OR this weekend for some yurt camping at Devils Lake. Tent camping in the spring in Oregon is always a risk (unless you like lying in mud), so rather than stay home we've started exploring the various state parks that offer yurts. Hardly roughing it, but we still cook outside, make s'mores by the campfire, and explore the waterways in our canoe. I also took some pictures with my new Nikon Coolpix 2500 digital camera.

Devils Lake was much more interesting than I expected. The fishing was great - we landed 6 decent size hatchery rainbows (all catch and release with the exception of one poor guy that didn't survive a hook swallow - we gave him to our camping neighbors).
