Tuesday September 4 – Sunday September 9, 2018
We had a beautiful trip on the Redwood Highway from Grants Pass, OR to the ocean. We were even in California near Crescent City for a few miles. All along the highway were signs from residents thanking the firefighters. We saw many firefighters with trucks full of gear, looking tired.
Treated ourselves to dinner out and just enjoyed being near the ocean.
The trip back along the Redwood Highway was exciting. We could see the Smith River below, a long, long way down. The road was so narrow there really wasn’t a good place to stop for pictures. Especially with the motorhome and our toad.
We made it safely to Lake of the Woods to meet our friend Pete. He had dinner cooking and the wine opened when we arrived.
Pete had a double campsite that accommodated both our motorhomes under beautiful tall pines. We spent the evening around the campfire enjoying remembering old times.
Friday we took a mountain bike trail through lava fields. There were some nice short climbs and fun twisting runs through the tall pines. Making our total Oregon miles 114.
Friday we packed up our campsite and were off to Klamath Falls. We spent 2 nights parked in Pete’s driveway. We really enjoyed visiting with his daughter Sue and her husband Brian. They treated us to a really good dinner done on the barbecue.
We were ready to head for Wyoming on Sunday morning when our slideout would not retract. Most of the day was spent figuring out the problem and then working around that to retract the slideout. Problem was broken wire in one of the motors. Solution to get slideout retracted was to remove motor and use 5 people to push slideout in. So by late afternoon we said our goodbyes and headed for Jackson, Wyoming.
