Weed and Grass . . .
Our son-in-law Lowell sent these pics of Landon trying out his new backyard pool. Looks like he’s all ready for summer.
On the other hand we woke up this morning to what every RV’er loves on a travel day.
Rain!
Luckily, it was only a light on and off drizzle, and even better, I had already done everything outside last night except for the satellite, and unhooking power and water.
After Jan set out Cinnamon Crunch Muffins for breakfast, we got to work stowing things away and getting ready to roll.
We pulled out of the site and around to the dump station about 9:30. Since there was no one else in line, Jan pulled the toad in behind the coach, and while we were dumping I got the toad hooked up and the lights checked and we were ready to roll
We were out of the park a little before 10, and about 15 minutes later we were on I-5N and heading for Weed, CA about 220 miles away.
It was amazing the way the scenery changed in just few hours. We started out at about sea level with nothing but flat countryside around us, and ended in very mountainous terrain at over 4000 feet. What a change!
Our friend Nick Russell called about 2 pm just as we were leaving Redding, CA and heading up into some very hilly, very curvy country, so Jan talked while I drove. He said they were in Brookings, OR where they would be for a couple of days.
We pulled into the Friendly RV Park here in Weed about 2:45 and got parked and set up. This park is really nice with level, paved sites, surrounding by lots of grass, so Mister is a happy kitty.
The only real problem are the trees, lots of trees, lots of tall trees.
And since it was also and rainy, I didn’t spend a lot of time trying to get the satellite to work. I’m pretty sure tomorrow I can find a spot between the trees to get a signal, but for right now I just hooked up to their cable system here. And surprisingly it’s very good, with a strong signal and 58 channels. Not bad!
Around 4:30 Jan and I drove over to Dos Amigos Mexican Restaurant, which turned out to be only a couple of blocks from the entrance to the park.
And it also turned out to be very good. Jan had the Shrimp Enchiladas, which were just filled with shrimp the size of your thumb, and I had Tacos al Pastor, with grilled pork chunks in soft corn tortillas, garnished with onions and cilantro. We’ll almost certainly go back. And speaking of going back, we’ll be able to because we’re going to stay here longer than we had originally planned
We first thought we’d be here for 3 nights and leave June 7th, but we decided to stay longer, so we pushed our Bend/Sunriver TT week from the 7th to the 11th of June.
That way we’ll only stay 3 nights at Newberry RV Park in La Pine instead of 7, and still be on time to meet Nick and Terry at the Pacific City Thousand Trails on the 21st.
I love it when a plan comes together!
