Off to Oregon

We came to Oregon on Friday, August 9th.  Took a little bit to get the motorhome, trailer and Explorer onto the road.  Our first stop was just west of Salem to a RV Premier Resorts.  They thought they had a site long enough for us so we would not have to unhook but unfortunately their sites were only 55 feet long and with the trailer we are 60.  So we had to unhook trailer from motorhome, park motorhome, take bikes off the Explorer, hook trailer to Explorer, maneuver trailer and then unhook from Explorer so we could have vehicle at site.  The joys of taking all the toys!!!

The RV Park that we stayed at did allow washing of vehicles, no charge.  For those of you who do not travel via RV, that's a big plus.  So as I was off having lunch Craig washed his bike and the Explorer.  I was going to help him wash the motorhome, but when he was ready it was pouring down raining, thundering and lightening - so I stayed inside and he washed by himself.  He was totally drenched.  Once it quit raining, I did go out and helped him finish and clean - up.

We saw family and friends to include a yearly picnic with the Larson's and then on Monday we went onto Eugene.  We stopped first at RV Glass to get a window which had broken a seal replaced and then today we came to Oregon Motorcoach to get a few maintenance items done and we are looking at having a security system put on coach and trailer.  We met a fun couple in the "sites" that we stayed at in the parking lot who had two 7 month old puppies - very well behaved.  Got lots of visiting in during the evening once they brought our coaches back to the sites.

Yesterday we took the "girls" to their first self-dog wash in Eugene.  In 1 1/2 hours, "girls" were bathed, blow dried (which they never had been blow dried before) and then brushed out.  They took it really well and the best part of it was that we had no wet towels to deal with (as we used all of their supplies) and no mess to clean up.
