Morro Bay

Beautiful little coastal town close to Santa Barbara. The Red Trolly is a great way to get around town to the Morro Bay shopping district and to view Morro Bay Rock aka " My Es Vedra".

RVing at Lake Cahuilla

Spent part of last week at Lake Cahuilla, an ancient lake/reservoir on the South end of La Quinta in the Salton Trough. We stayed in the equestrian camping zone which is in a cove down a dusty road and a bit out of the way for group camping. We met a nice couple there with a few horses and listened to the trumpets play at sun down from the boy scout camp. One other large celebration was going that night, alot happy people out there! You must check out the great hiking trails, it's really beautiful in the morning.

And We're Off!

We headed out on a weekend trip, took Lily & Cottie with us. Lily rides in my lap and Cottie sleeps the whole time in her bed on the floor next to my chair. Cottie is 13 now and slowing way down. This trip was the first time that she needed help getting up the stairs into the RV, she's really showing her age now, my poor sweet Pug.

We stayed near Cajun Pass, CA. close to Rancho Cucamonga and woke up to head out to a local resevoir on Hwy. 15. The road showed to be decent from the map and there were no signs posted about the dangerously narrow and curvy road we embarked on. It was a flipping nightmare.... Traffic was crazy and we had to cut corners to manage alot of the turns. After about 5 miles we found a small turn out and walked it off several times to see if we could turn this 40ft. ship around. It was a tight squeeze and I had a major panick attack while Hubby got this beast turned around and pointed in the right direction. This is the part of RVing that I don't care for, but we seem to manage to get ourselves in a "Tight Spot" at least once a year. Whew! Hopefully that will count for 2010.

Meet Lily Houdini

The new addition to our family, she is an 8 mo. old Fox Terrier cross that I adopted from Animal Samaritans animal shelter. She can be a bit of a wild child when she's ready for a walk but all in all great dog and incredibly smart.
Too smart, she has figured out how to open the latch on her crate, I've even tried string and another latch and she's managed to open it, hence her new middle name :-)

A Day at Mount Piscah

Our little Oregonians showed us around the outskirts of Eugene. We drove out to Mount Pisgah which is a living tree museum It's a favorite place for the locals along the Willamette river. There is a lovely trail that runs along the river, probably a 10 minute hike into a nice shady spot. Perfect place to spend a hot afternoon swimming or in the shade eating a popsicle with the ones we love.

 

 

 

 

Family Reunion in Cassel, CA.

Laguna in August

We drove to my sister's house and stayed the weekend in San Clemente to
escape the higher temps in the desert. She took me to the "Sawdust Festival"
and a beautiful little restaurant called Tivoli's Too.

Sliverton, OR

Lovely little town North of Silver Falls, Oregon.

Lots of antique shops and collectable stores.

You really need to pay attention to the proper

exit out of town if you are driving an RV, freeway signs

aren't readily posted. It's an older town and the streets

are narrow with low over hanging trees.

Down get lost in town it's almost

impossible to turn around in an RV.
