After waiting forever............ for our new truck we finally get to leave to pick the new RV in Oregon. Bob's Birthday, Happy Birthday!
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 :)
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.
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. | 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.
