This weekend, I ran away from home...at least for a little while. Margene and I spent the weekend in McCloud at Leona's family ranch, and got in some good girl-time, some good walks, good food, and fun!

We left Saturday morning (almost) on time...I had to gas up or we would have made it to Leona's at 8:00, right on schedule!  We stopped in Dunsmuir for breakfast - a delicious 'truckstop omelet' for me, with a huge cinnamon and pecan roll split between the three of us as a starter.

After that breakfast, we went to Leona's "cabin" (a newly remodeled 2-bedroom, 800 sf house) and unpacked, and headed for the McCloud River Lower Falls to walk off some of that breakfast.

The three of us at the falls....

Then a nice leisurely 2 mile walk/hike up the canyon....

To the Middle Falls.  (Yes, there are Upper Falls as well, but Leona said they weren't as pretty as Lower and Middle, and were another 2 miles up the river....so we didn't hike them.)

And the three of us at the Middle Falls...

And back down to the Lower Falls for one more selfie....
