The Kitties








Tulip has turned into a primo traveler! She gnaws on my knuckles ever so briefly before settling in for the journey. The only thing that arouses her are air brakes when we refuel at a truck stop. Zeus still prefers the confines of his carrier, although, he ventures out to stretch his legs when we stop.

They amuse themselves in the RV and spend much time watching the busy comings and goings of the Park.

Bighorn Rally




We're off to our first Bighorn Rally! Rally meaning simply a gathering of the same kind of RVs in one place for a few days. Some type of informative session is usually incorporated, t-shirts, raffles, prizes, numerous potluck events, time to explore the area and/or various planned activities.

Winchester Bay, OR is a small coastal town, well known for its garlic and jalapeno flavored canned tuna, on the wild Pacific Ocean. It was a two-day trip with a night in Albany to visit with Adrienne and Will, and his parents-- Judy and John and brother Charlie. What a nice family!

There is a first time for everything...we missed the turn into the RV Park in Winchester Bay (lovingly referred to as "blowing" the turn). So, the driver just put all +/-55ft. of us into reverse and backed up. Yikes! I didn't say a word--really!

We don't see many Bighorns. It was fun to be with other owners and chat about our rigs.

Multnomah Falls is visible from the interstate on the Oregon side of the Columbia River. What a treat! We climbed to the top of the Falls two years ago with Adrienne.

Ok, back to Wine Country RV Park, and back to work. The cherries should be ripe when we get there!

Columbia River Gorge






The Columbia River Gorge is a vast and magnificent work of nature! We've driven on both the Oregon and Washington sides a number of times and the wind is always whipping up whitecaps on the water.

A few small towns dot the shores, along with a replica of Stonehenge and a large winery in Maryhill, WA and massive windmill farms on both sides of the river. This is one of those rare times when the pictures can speak for themselves.
