Cabin Camping at Silver Falls State Park

This Saturday we are going "Cabin Camping" at Silver Falls State Park. The rustic cabins are very similar to the yurts, same interior and amenities, just a different shell. We haven't actually stayed in one of the State Park cabins yet, but we have stayed at one of the KOA Kamping Cabins, I'm under the impression that the KOA Kabins are smaller than the State Park Cabins, but we'll see this weekend!

This February has turned out to be one of the coldest February's Oregon has seen in decades, so today I was starting to feel a little sick, sore throat and tired, with that and the combination of the cold, we decided to cancel our reservation. Unfortunately when I went online to Resevere America I found out you have to cancel reservations 3 days in advance. With that being said, we are going, I will not waste $40, but I will make note for the future that I need to back out 3 days early if I'm going to.

The weather is calling for 14 degrees Saturday night! What the what! And snow, so we may wake up to a winter wonderland. Maybe the falls there will freeze like Multnomah Falls does, creating a fantastic photo op, that would make my weekend!

So I'll be taking my Zicam and hoping my cold does not progress with hopes of enjoying this weekend at Silver Falls State Park. Actually after seeing the above photos, I kinda can't wait!
