Well, Tuesday was an eventful day! I woke up in the morning to "wet". It was raining and we had a leak in the roof. It was dripping right down on the center of the bed. We decided to head back to Abbottsford, there were lots of RV repair shops there. We found one, they were booked solid and could not even work on it because ti was still raining. They suggested that we head north to Williams Lake, about 300 miles, to get out of the rain and the next repair shop.

We went on to a ... read more

We decided to stay through Monday here in Portland. The weather has been perfect. Today we slept late and walked to a nicw cafe down the street for breakfast.

That went okay, until Ed hit the wrong button and tried to reel him in like a fish! We set out this morning at 9:30 and we were in Ashland by 3:30. Tonight we are camped under the trees right next to a creek. It is so quiet you can hear the water running. We ... read more
