Oregon bound

Hello!
we left Redding Monday morning-Oregon bound.
Spent one night-after a long day of driving for Mike-in Eugene.A beautiful park-like the one in Redding-well kept and breakfast and a newspaper on the porch in the morning. We took of Tuesday morning for Gresham Oregon,with plans to see an RV dealer in Sandy the next day. - Mike called Karen(Jess' Mom) we were not sure where in Oregon she and her Mike were living-but it turned out they were really close to the park we had reservations at for Tues. and Wed. night. Karen met us at a KMart parking lot-lots of room to park out in the back forty- she drove us out to their gorgeous home and property in BeaverCreek-hope the spelling is right- Karen you can correct me! Their property is right out of the pages of Country living and architectural Digest-gardens full of huge pumpkins and tomatoes and anything else you would want-a beautiful pond full of waterlilies-flowers of every color. There is even a special garden just for little Kaley. Mike and I suggested they(Mike and Karen) go to Europe for a few month and we would house-sit. I cannot ever imagine being tired of the yards and views there-truly wonderful! I wish I had taken more pics-but I will post one of their beautiful Victorian style home. Mike and Karen took us out for lunch, then it was time to get back to camp. we had a great afternoon! In the morning we went to the RV dealer in Sandy-met Mike the satellite tech(and our new best friend) he fixed the satellite-and a few other little things that needed working on-and Mike was able to watch Gunsmoke and-just a few other westerns-for the first time since we left Lake Elsinore. Mike is a very happy camper!!
Today it is Thursday-we arrived this afternoon in Gig Harbor-wow-really really beautiful. Huge trees everywhere-it is a cool 65-but no rain-yet. I will take pics of the park tomorrow-when hopefully, the sun will come out! We both are wearing sweats and our Uggs-I love August in Wash! oh, and on the way up here- in Toutle-we stopped at a rest stop-beautiful rest-stop as they all are here- there were people there serving free coffee and home-made cookies. I knew we were not in California any longer-so many of the rest stops we passed in Calif. were not only not serving refreshments-they were closed.
Tonight we are just chilling and enjoying the park-Ginger and I took a long walk-she chased some squirrels and I found blackberries! Tomorrow we will adventure out to Gig harbor and see what there is to see here. I am looking forward to seeing my dad and Brother and his wife Sheryl tomorrow eve. we miss you all-but we are having a great adventure so far. Met some people in the last park that gave us some great ideas for when we leave Washington-more about that later-but it involves a jet boat and some pretty good rapids-eek!! ps-Carol mentioned that there have been no pics of me-so here is one for you my brown eyed girl-friend!!
