No more drizzles!

June 7-8, 2007

Waterloo County Park
Waterloo, OR

The title above refers to the weather and not any canine affliction, as you might have surmised.

We moved about 15 miles down the road to another Linn County RV Park, and for $13.00 a night (senior rate—don’t check my ID), it’s a steal. Clear skies and temps in the high 70s.

Today, everybody did their own thing.

Janice went to Corvallis for lunch to visit Cindy, a high school friend. They enjoyed reconnecting. Janice had visited her during last year’s Oregon sojourn.

I played golf at the Mallard Creek course, joining a three-some that included a 74 year old who consistently outdrove me. My driving was just pathetic---a high fade that left me scrambling on virtually every hole. I am ready for a lobotomy.

Carly stayed ‘home alone’ in the rig, and was a happy dog when Janice returned. She did take it pretty hard when Paris Hilton was sent back to jail, though.

Unlike the Mexico blog where something exciting (and new) happened nearly every day, our pace has been a bit more relaxing. No semi-trucks to fear, although the logging trucks have caused some trepidation. At least the roads are wider and there are usually shoulders.

Tomorrow the expected highlight of the day will be the Lebanon (Oregon) Saturday market, which should have a very different group of vendors than did the lefty-Eugene market. Expect to see cowboy belt buckles and NASCAR posters. No paisley allowed at this one.

We were fortunate to get a space here that had a good satellite angle, but Silver Falls State Park, our Sun-Tuesday abode, is thickly covered with tall trees, so it will likely be blackout time.
