Wow, that's a bit of a drive. Not sure yet when the trip up that way will be, could be during the winter though and that's a stretch in the snow they get up that way. Enjoy your new place though.

Credit Card is already getting hit with my remodeling project here. But I do hope to get down that way sometime this year. Might not be until September though.

We've got from now till then to get there...any suggestions for stops along the way? R & L, Trust me you will be just fine in Bend in June.....oh ya.... I was hatched in Central Oregon and family has had homes since before it was a state (1859)....so here is the weather deal..... only TWO years in a row do I recall watching the Fourth of July fire works in a snow storm......not many places in the lower 48 can have fire works in the snow on the 4th. .....ya know that second year that it snowed we lost a few Kalifornians...... Now the good news ......as I recall I have seldom needed to plow much snow in July in Bend...... We still own a couple places in Bend but we don't need to arrive until it gets over a +100 at our AZ & NV places...... You will likely survive Bend if you take your parka, heavy boots and thick gloves..... Bend has Two seasons.....Snow & Forest Fires......

Summer doesn't start until late June or early July in the PNW running usually through the end of September. I said usually because this year has not been usual anywhere. We have owned a place just South of Waldport forever and almost every year in mid-summer you will have 90 days or more with NO measurable moisture AT ALL.......NONE... We had a 2000 ft long turf airstrip that mowed a lot until mid June then it turned brown and never needed mowing until March..... Now when it rains in can get with the program .......sometimes a inch in a hour but you just put your rain gear on and stay away from swollen fast running water...... Oregon is.....Oregon.....there might be a reason more folks live in Kalifornia ....... Drive on.......(gotta go mow the ..... airstrip) Quote 97 Freightshaker Century Cummins M11-370 / 1350 /10 spd / 3:08 /tandem/ 20ft Garage/ 30 ft Curtis Dune toybox with a removable horse-haul-module to transport Dolly-The-Painthorse to horse camps and trail heads all over the Western U S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You remind me why we decided to go small even after full time RVing--we liked having everything and each other so close. Even so, I still do not know where to find everything in the kitchen--partly because our daughter set it up with Dave slightly modifying things. You will, eventually, figure out your kitchen but having to chase each other down when you want to talk might continue to be a challenge. But, maybe not. I hope it turns out you like your new place as well as we like ours.

Linda Hi everyone, We are doing great. We moved to a downstairs apt back in October. So much better. Specially with groceries. I am enjoying my part time job at Kohl's. I usually give at least half of my paycheck back to them! LOL. Ed has gone back to Amazon here in Chester Virginia. He is quitting for good the end of July. We are taking a cruise to Alaska over Labor Day. Really looking forward to that. We fly into Seattle on Aug 30th and get back into Seattle on Sept 7th. We will then spend the weekend with Ed's daughter in Tacoma and fly home Monday. Just enjoying being close to my daughter and family. Son and DIL are coming over the 4th of July so we are busy planning things with them. Sounds like everyone is settling down somewhere and not traveling as much. I do still read a few blogs still. Today I just decided to read a few posts of the forum. Was looking for an update on Marsha. Anyone heard? Paul posted a blog some time back but wondered if they made it to Ohio.

steved44 Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 We are still here in our new digs in Yuma. Today a group from the park went to the Colorado river and floated a couple of hours. Seems they do this once a week during the summer and then have breakfast afterwards. 15 people showed up and we had a blast. The water was not too cold (after the first dip) and the current is old people slow!! Been pretty quiet around here with all the winter people gone, but we still have some action. The truck had a problem though. It started going into 4x4 by itself. Just driving down the road and all of a sudden it shifts into 4 high. It's that 2008 Dodge Dakota that we have towed for the last 6 or 7 years. A day or two later we had to use the 4x4 in some sand and after we finished it wouldn't shift back into 2 wheel drive. Seems the electric motor that does the shifting burned up. AArrrgghhh Nothing that a thousand dollars won't fix. Oh well, it's been a great truck for 130,000 miles plus being towed another 30,000 or so I guess I can let it off the hook this time. Dodge fixed it in one day and loaned me a vehicle to drive so I guess it was not all bad. I do hate being "shiftless" though. 104 here in Yuma today (but it's a dry heat) ha ha. Hope everyone is doing great.
