Day 99; August 4 -- Otis, OR to Roseburg, OR

We didn't leave very early today (11:00am).  I think we must have been tired and lazy.  I have figured out that all this travelling is hard on old bodies.  Go, Go, and Go!

Today was probably one of the best days for breath-taking scenery.  It was like everything we turned a corner there was another post card view.  We had only gone about 45 miles and we came across a Wal-Mart.  I hadn't developed pictures for a long time.  So, we stopped and did that.

We then headed down 101 south.


 How would you like to live on this hill?

What kind of storm, weather, or act of God formed these rocks?





Ocean and then a mountain of trees?  Color on color!

Waves rushing into the shore.  Perfect day for this drive.  We were blessed again.  Yesterday it was foggy and you could not see very far.

A little light house on the side of this mountain.

A view further back shows the carekeeper's house too?

Now, we are approaching the Oregon Sand Dunes.  Amazing formations.


Crossing an old bridge.  It had a stop light to alert the traffic if the draw bridge was up.  We noticed that Oregon has a lot of it's original bridges.  I liked to see them.  They have character.

Driver declined to put his driving skills to test!


On Hwy 138 we passed several elk viewing areas.





We drove down tree covered roads.  Passed farm lands with cows, horses, and sheep.  Hay was being baled.  Summer time in Good Ole' America.  Driver and I got a kick out of a comment that was sent to a local radio station.  They suggested that we keep the congress on vacation before they can mess up anything else.......

We ended up at Roseburg, OR at a tree-shaded security gated park called Twin Rivers Recreation Park.  We are going to stay here 2-3 days and drive over to the Lake Park, get some new tires for the truck, get a second opinion on the old flat, go to JCPenney's to show them my purse.

Tonight we had hamburgers and french fries.  I love my french fry cutter.  Zap, Zap, Zap......and I have a pan of fries.

Past my bedtime...TaTa....and Love to all.

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a little high $3.82 to $4.07. Today we drove around O

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go for a drive, I wanted to

Day 19; Badlands and Wall, South Dakota

Image
This day was probably one of my best for this trip.  I had never been to the Badlands.  The weather was perfect.  Miss Priss was not.  Gary thought she should go along.  I decided I was going to get two shock collars.  One for her when she yeps, and one for Gary when he sleeps while driving. The Badlands was interesting. They had buffalo grazing and a lot of native grass fields.  We drove on dirt roads for 30 miles to cross this area.  The dirt in places was a white color.  I asked Gary what this was (I thought it might be salty) and he explained something about it did not or it did have a special chemical makeup that was above my head and memory. Our next stop was Wall, South Dakota, to visit the famous Wall Drug Store. I could not find my charms in this store.  I did find a purse I liked in the store behind Gary and his silent friend.  Handsome couple of gents!  Gary was full and content as we ate lunch at the drug store.  We were suppose to have hot beef sandwiches and I accid
