Oregon Trips
We NEVER leave home in July but this year we took off in Ida for a trip to Oregon. We were gone a week and only stayed in an RV park one night--no Walmarts for us though. Sunday the 12th we had to leave on an evening high tide so stayed in Gwen's driveway in Burlington. Next night we stayed in the parking lot at Wiley Creek (Retirement Village) in Sweet Home where my mom lives. Then we were 4 nights at Kit's sister Milli's in Powell Butte (central Oregon where the temps averaged about 95). At least Milli has an electric hook up for us. Saturday the 18th my niece Darci was married above the Cascade Locks in the Columbia Gorge. Since the campground (site of the wedding) was tenters only we stayed at a KOA not far away.
Now we are planning another trip to Oregon leaving tomorrow but it is still on the cutting block if this hot hot weather continues. (We saw 92 for the first time ever--and we are always 10 degrees cooler --or more--than Seattle). Seattle hit an all time record high.
