Hello Oregon

Left Corning, California, yesterday morning. It was Sunday and there was a riod run heading south all morning with hundreds of beautiful cars, so that was cool. Another hot day, around 30 C all the way. It was cooler here this morning at 18 C, and hundreds of frogs were singing all night. We have been in the desert for a month so it was nice to hear them again!

Heading up to Tumwater, Washington, for a night to stock up on groceries before getting back into BC. Hopefully that will help ease the sticker shock of food prices once we get home and severe depression will be avoided this time :(

BTW, some of these blog posts are done on the road via my iPhone and T-Mobile WiFi Hotspot, which loads photos in random order. So if you don't see a comment under each pic, check back later as I will ad them from my laptop when I have time.

Breaking Camp Again

Tomorrow morning we are heading for Tumwater, Washington, and will spend the night at an RV park we stayed in on our way back last spring, the one that has 10 acres of Dougls Fir/salal forest that is great for the dogs to be able to run around in.  The map on the right-hand side of the web page over there--> shows our planned route from here to Palm Springs, where we should be arriving on November 10th, this Thursday!!

It's good to be on our way south because the weather here in Aldergrove has been a bit on the chilly side.  We're not used to the dampness, and it hit minus 4 C. yesterday morning, which felt like about minus 20!  Can't wait to hit Palm Springs and that nice hot tub, LOL!  We are only making one-night stopovers en route, so there may not be any more blog entries until we get there.

Meanwhile, I'll leave you with this recommendation:  DQ pumpkin pie Blizzards.....oh, yeah! 

Tumwater, Washington

We are now in Tumwater at the same RV park we stayed in on the way down in November.  It's really a nice place, especially if you're tenting, because they have acres of old-growth Doug fir and all the campsites are in the bush pretty much.  Really great for the dogs to run around and check out the wild bunnies and squirrels, too.

So we're back in the rain and mist here.  Checked the weather in Kamloops and it's about 10 degrees warmer than here.  It was 7 last night and felt like minus 10 with the dampness.  Oh well ...

Heading up to Aldergrove today to get repatriated, LOL.  We'll be visiting friends and relatives at the coast for a week or more while we get organized for our move up to our property.

So it's goodbye to the U of A for a little while.  Sure do miss Texas ...
