Oasis in the desert near Denio
A refreshing break at a little-known oasis in the desert near Denio - you can camp, swim, shower - and find a $25,000 opal if you're lucky. With many opal mines around, two people can pay $500 and get a 3-yard scoop off the wall. You then have all day to sort through the material and keep whatever you find. You can also pay $75 and go through the tailings. Sounds like fun - and maybe profitable - anyone want to go digging in the desert?

On to beautiful Oregon!
On to beautiful Oregon coast where we stayed to enjoy July 4th fireworks, the ships, kites, a car show, and wildlife (a baby seal is waiting for his mother to return from feeding)
