We spent 5 hours at the factory learning about the inside and outside of the new "toy".  Leaving about 5pm we traveled to the nearest campsite for the night which was Tumalo State Park.  Only dry camping left so we proceeded to try remember all the on's and off's of this new thing we just bought.  It was going to be in the low 40's of high 30's that night so we needed to figure out how to turn on the new furnace etc etc etc....Randell from Host said we would be calling him that night and he said it was alright...we did....couldn't remember how to turn the water pump on  :)

Oregon State Parks are very nice.  Clean and well organised

The new RV with LEDs and solar panels is a real dream...we did not need electric.

The truck needed a couple more stabilizers in the springs so we went north and west to the Pacific coast, New Port...only stayed two days because it was 52-60 degrees and high wind.

Picture on the left is a movie of the sea lions in NewPort...the dock smelled like a mix of vomit and poop....nice huh...look for the single lion on the raft by himself...he was a bully.

If you look at the left side of this picture half way up you will see the spout of a grey whale.

After the RV work and the Pacific coast we went back down the middle of Oregon again through Sisters, Bend and Crater Lake.  The field of horses is a metal sculpture from a local woman...we bought an elk welcome sign...and a partridge family.

The campground had a view of Mt. Shasta. A little painting and life was very pleasant.

There was an upper, middle and lower falls along one side of the camp ground stretching a couple of miles, of easy walking trails. Absolutely beautiful.
Picture
Very nice camp sites with large piles of wood to burn. That was nice because evenings were in the 40's

This was the best place of the trip and we stayed here the longest.  All the people in the camp were friendly and helpful.  Dan and Semir pictured here gave us all their morning fish (cleaned and cold) so we could have trout dinner...talked a lot to these two...very interesting talks...Semir was from Egypt...Christian men who moved to US and are not happy about how weak our country is getting...He knew first hand the evil we see today... Pete chopped our wood every day and his wife makes good peanut butter cookies just like Connies's.  I got to hold his dear pom puppy all night...miss my Molly.

    About  Us

    After my husbands widow maker heart attack in 2004, the doctor said just relax and enjoy life for a while. So it happened: the 43' NewMar Mountain Aire coach was purchased and the house sold....eventually. Relaxing? Not always! We are truly blessed to spend this time together... and with friends. 

    Up Date:

    September 2015 now traveling with Ford F350diesel dually and Host Mammoth Truck Camper.
