Catching Up

We didn't have internet for the other two weeks of our June trip. We were at Riffe Lake with family for a week and then cut over to Bend, Oregon on our way home. Riffe Lake had a very nice campground and great fishing. Brother-in-law Bob brought his boat and we caught 15 fish in less than 2 hours. We picked Cara up at the Portland Airport so she could spend a few days with her grandparents and cousins who showed up for the weekend. Cara loved the fishing. The fish were "nice" meaning that they were averaging 20 inches long... Lots bigger than we're used to catching in the great state of Cal. AND the fish loved shrimp - go figure! While it rained for the first couple days, it cleared up to be great weather. Our only casualty was one hubcap over 2700 miles.

We stayed two nights in La Pine Oregon and visited with an RV net member who came over for wine around the fire. The next evening we had dinner at their house and it was great. A very nice couple who have also retired and are working hard on their house. We really liked the LaPine area as there were about 30 beautiful lakes within a 20 mile radius and lots of volcanic parks to visit. However, the Bend area isn't exactly inexpensive.

We stayed for two nights at Lake Siskyou near Shasta. It's a great little lake and we had a nice site. But for some reason, we weren't in their computer and they tried to reassign our site about five times until the security guy showed up to confirm our recept. Otherwise, this is a great lake for sitting on the beach, but then we didn't really have time to relax! We drove into McCloud and Steve really enjoyed the museum and the town. It's one of my favorite towns.. Next time we would like to take the dinner train up Shasta.

Okay, this blog is a bit scattered because it won't let me put photos anywhere but the top apparently. And the photos are using up all my storage space.. Guess I could read the directions..
