August 31 - Days 78 - 79 Crater Lake and on to Coos Bay

Monday morning arrived as we had hoped it would not - cold rain! We had hoped to spend the day at Crater Lake and surrounding villages. Instead, we were stuck in the RV, and to make matters worse, the satellite was not connecting due to the rain! No Crater Lake and no TV - not good.

After noon, I decided to head up the mountain despite the rain in the hope that I might catch a glimpse of Crater Lake. As I headed up the mountain, the rain turned to sleet! I hadn't seen "snow" for years, and wasn't at all happy to see it now! The road runs along the edge of the crater on one side and a steep drop down the mountain on the other - and with sleet! I made it to the top, but to no avail. All you could see were clouds. The crater looked like a bowl of clam chowder.

Back down the mountain - carefully - disappointed. Suz and I then bundled up and headed for the Diamond Lake Resort where we were told there was a "lounge." Well, there was, but on the scale of 1 to 10, with the Colonial Inn a strong 2, this lounge hit the scale at no more than 3 - but it had a great fireplace. While we were there, we decided that if the weather looked promising in the morning, I would get the coach ready to go, then we would head up the mountain in the chance that we could see Crater Lake. At the very least, we would have breakfast at the Crater Lake Lodge before heading to Coos Bay.

The morning arrived, and as luck would have it, the sky was clear - but it was cold! There was frost on the car, and trying to wind up the water hose was a real treat - like trying to bend a 2x4! But with persistence ... With the coach ready to go, with only the slides and jacks to bring in and up, we crossed our fingers and headed up the mountain at 7:45 am - what a great decision. Not only could we see the lake, but the sky was crystal clear - a photographers dream as you can see.

Breakfast was also a great treat. The food was good and the prices were very reasonable. The Crater Lake Lodge was begun in 1911 and opened in 1915. It was completely restored in the last 20 years or so and is now like a miniature Glacier Park Lodge.

Totally thrilled with our good luck, we headed back down the mountain back to the RV park and were on the road to Coos Bay by 10:00 am. We followed highway 138 along the Umpqua River to Roseburg. What a beautiful road. I have to say that Oregon's mountain roads have proven to be top quality and very scenic. From 138, we switched over to highway 42 to the coast and Coos Bay. I had plotted the route using Google Maps and it said once we hit highway 101, we were to turn onto Shinglehouse Road. We did - what a mistake. Shinglehouse road could give the "Tail of the Dragon" a run for its money in the twists and turns category. We drug the hitch on more than one occasion! From Shinglehouse, we turned on to Libby Lane for 9 plus somewhat better by also twisty miles. On the motorcycle, I would have been in seventh heaven - in the motorhome, towing the car - well ....

We finally hit Cape Arago Highway, and of course Google had no instructions. We turned the wrong way, had to make a U-turn - with the motorhome. Finally headed in the right direction, we found the Midway RV Park in the midst of some of the worst looking RV parks I have ever seen. We began to dread our destination. But among the stones was a pearl! Midway is rated 9/10/9.5 by Trailer Life and for good reason - it is beautiful, and with our Good Sam discount, only $30 per night!

We were fully settled by 4:00 (with the front of the coach cleaned). We were told that the Portside in nearby Charleston was a good choice for happy hour and food - the advice was good! (Suz took the photo and cut off the name of the restaurant!). We had a great view of the bay and the crab legs were, as Suzanne would say, "to die for." We returned to the coach fully satisfied - until tomorrow that is, when we will do some sightseeing and then destroy some more Dungeness crab! Until then, Cheers!

August 29 - Days 76 and 77 - The memorial and off to Crater Lake

Saturday was the day to celebrate the life of my aunt Ella, the wife of my Mom's oldest brother. She would have been 100 on August 27, but passed away in June. The memorial was arranged by her two daughters, and two of my favorite cousins, Carolyn Harkness and Marilyn Brown (both formerly Williams). The memorial was very nice with various people remembering aunt Ella's life. We then went to Marilyn's house for a barbecue.

In all there were 40 people, mostly the prodigy, spouses and children of the two daughters. It was a wonderful time and Suz and I so enjoyed seeing and visiting with my cousins and their families. In the picture are Bob and Marilyn Brown and Bob and Carolyn Harkness and, of course the now eldest member of the family, my Mom, Alice Evans (97).

It was hard to say goodbye to the family, and especially my Mom, but Sunday morning we were off to Crater Lake to continue our American adventure. Surprising as it may be to most, Suzanne was up at 5:05 am and we were on the road at 6:20 (just before sunrise!!). The early start was necessitated by the fact that we had to cover 438 miles today. And that was necessitated by the change of schedule to attend my aunt's memorial.

We headed South on US 405 then onto US 5 to just past Eugene. Then it was East on to Oregon 58. On route, we stopped in Oakridge, Oregon at the Cyber Cafe for lunch. From all appearances, Oakridge is a modern day "hippy" enclave. Our waiter had more art on his body than the Louvre, and all the patrons were long-haired and bearded - but the food was plentiful and good. Continuing on up 58, we mounted Willamette Pass (5,128 feet) to Oregon 97, then onto Oregon 138 to Diamond Lake (just a hop, skip and a jump from Crater Lake). We arrived at Diamond Lake RV Park at 3:45 pm. The park is very nice as you can see.

After setting up, what else, we headed down the hill to the lake and the local pizza joint for a quick happy hour. The lake is very picturesque and is said to contain lots of rainbow trout! Tomorrow, we will head into the park at visit Crater Lake. Hopefully the weather will be accommodating! Until then, Cheers!

August 26 - Days 73 and 75 - Lake Pleasant

Wednesday arrived with beautiful weather. You could see Mt. Rainier, Mt. Shuksan, the Cascade range and the Olympics from many places in the area. Absolutely beautiful! I spent the morning in Bellevue at Harbor Freight and looking for a shop selling foam to alter the way the AC ducts in the coach function. Success!

From there I headed to Costco for paper products for Mom and steaks for us. Costco price for filet mignon was $10.99 per pound, at QFC, the price was $19.99 per pound. From there I went to Mom's and had lunch then went for a ride to see the places where I grew up and where Mom spent her childhood. The house Mom grew up in on Beacon Hill is still there and is in very fine condition - it is over 140 years old! In the evening, Suz and I had Happy Hour at Applebee's and then dinner at the coach.

Thursday was forecast to be a rainy day - so what's new in Seattle? Before the rain, I went on the roof to clean the top of the coach - not a fun chore when the coach is wet! That being done, I checked the tire pressure and tidied up a few chores - then the rain began, and lasted all day. However, we did have the chance to visit the Country Village, which is not far from the coach, that is full of small shops selling crafts and artsy stuff. We also had lunch at the Country Cafe, which is a bit pricey but provides HUGE quantities of delicious food.

Later in the day, we headed for Outback for happy hour, then it was back to the coach to eat the rest of the lunch that we couldn't eat at the Country Cafe!

Friday arrived with broken clouds and cool temperatures (highs in the low 60s today) but otherwise a nice day. Note that we have had to turn the furnace on the last three nights with temperatures in the high 40s and low 50s overnight. In order to get satellite TV I had to go on the roof and dry off the King Dome - what a pain. I am seriously considering getting a Wineguard Traveler dish to replace the King Dome.

Later, I found a patch of blackberries and picked another full bowl. Blackberries on ice cream in the evening - priceless! Around noon, we will head to Mom's and take her out for lunch and take care of some other family matters.

Returning to the coach, we aired up all the tires (coach, car and bike) and put the bike on the lift in preparation for our departure on Sunday morning. Then we went of Applebee's for our final Happy hour. Home again, we barbecued a couple of filets and watched the golf. Tomorrow, we will pick up Mom at 1:30 and go to Washington Cemetery to celebrate the memorial for my aunt, who passed away earlier this year, but would have been 100 on this date. It will be a chance to see all my cousins and other relatives and celebrate the life of a wonderful person. Then Sunday morning it will be off to Crater Lake in Oregon, about 420 miles away! Until our next post, Cheers!

August 24 - Days 68 - 72 - Lake Pleasant

The days seem to slip by when you are having fun - and we are. Lake Pleasant is a very nice RV park and it is nicely located in North Seattle (actually Bothell). Friday arrived with beautiful weather, but no satellite TV due to the massive Douglass Fir and Cedar trees behind the coach. Our neighbor had the same problem and told me that I could receive programming if I moved the coach as far forward in the site as possible. I did, and Voila - satellite TV. However, every morning the dew on the King Dome interferes with reception, and we have to use cable until the sun rises over the trees behind us, usually about 10:00 Pacific time, and dries the dome. Not a big issue.

Internet access is not a problem. The resort provides free WiFi for one hour a day (after that you pay), but both AT&T and Verizon reception is excellent and I use the AT&T air card and my Verizone HTC Incredible for Internet service. Both are faster than the WiFi. We have been lucky, we have had beautiful weather every day except for Saturday, when there was a light rain most of the day until evening.

On Friday, I had the first opportunity to visit with Mom. We picked her up in the morning and took her to lunch and brought her out to the coach. She is going to be 98 in October and is still living alone in her own apartment and going strong. That evening we took her to her favorite restaurant - Ivar's Salmon House on Lake Union in Seattle.

Saturday it rained, so I took the car into Bellevue and and picked up some cleaning supplies at O'Reiley's Auto, visited Bellevue Harley Davidson and Sears. After that, Suz and I went over to Mom's and had lunch. Around 4 we headed back to the coach and stopped at, where else, Applebee's for happy hour, then fixed a couple of Bubba Burgers for dinner.

Sunday, I took the day to clean up the outside of the coach. "The Solution" did a great job getting rid of the black streaks on the sides. That evening, my daughter Julie, her husband Owen and my two grandsons, Hunter and Joe came to the coach before heading out to a great Chinese restaurant to celebrate Hunter's 17th birthday. It was good to see the family again, the boys have sure grown - in every way!

Monday was another beautiful day, I rode the bike over to Seattle, picked up lunch and went over to Mom's. In the afternoon, I did some more cleaning of the outside of the coach. I experimented with Meguairs SwirlX to remove some scratches and swirl marks - works great! Now to do the whole coach, but that will only happen when I get my orbital buffer!! Monday evening, Suz and I again enjoyed the happy hour at Applebee's, then barbecued a couple of steaks for dinner.

Today was our day to go grocery shopping - in the morning for us and in the afternoon for Mom. We shopped at QFC for ourselves and Safeway for Mom. We have member cards for both, but have found that QFC is significantly more expensive in almost every department. No more QFC. After shopping, we all went to Robb's 125th Street Grill on Aurora Avenue for dinner. The food was good and the prices right.

Tomorrow I will go into Bellevue to Costco for paper products and steaks, and to then to Harbor Freight for an "orbital buffer". Until then, Cheers!

August 19 - Days 64 - 67 - Harrisburg Rally and on to Seattle

The Freightliner Chassis Owners Club rally started Monday morning with breakfast (biscuits and gravy, cereal, toast, coffee, etc.) . This was followed by seminars, but we were scheduled for more important tasks - Dixie was to be groomed in Eugene! We dropped her off at the PetSmart shop in Eugene at 9:00 am and were told it would be 3 hours, so we headed back to Harrisburg and I attended the Freightliner seminar.

Then it was back to Eugene to pick up Dixie - after another trip to Walmart for some coach washing equipment. When we went to PetSmart to pick up Dixie, she was in the last stages of grooming. She didn't see us through the windows, and looked like a forlorn, lost puppy. With a: "Where have they gone, and why have they left me here?" look on her face. With the grooming done, and Dixie back in the car, we headed back to Eugene and more seminars.

The four days of the rally were filled with seminars, coach cleaning, happy hours, dinners and socializing. We met some very nice people - most from California, but some from Florida and other parts of the country as well. Of particular note were Jim and Marlina Rutherford, owners of a 2008 Phaeton 36QSH like ours. Jim is a fanatical cleaner and set the standard for a sparkling coach! We very much enjoyed meeting and socializing with them. I also found some more blackberry vines and picked another bowl full, which we have frozen for future breakfasts and ice cream servings! The last evening was filled with happy hour and a dinner of presentations and drawings.

Thursday morning, we were ready to go at 7:25 am (a new record!) since we had to have the coach in Portland at the Freightliner dealer for the 15,000 mile service by 10:00 am. We made it with no problem - other than the fact that we went to the wrong dealership! In any event, we finally got the right one by 10:00 and the service was done efficiently and at a very reasonable cost.

One thing I learned at the rally was to drive the coach in "economy" mode and to set the cruise control three or four miles per hour above where the transmission shifts int 6th gear. That turned out to be around 60 mph. Driving in this fashion from Harrisburg to Seattle yielded 9.2 miles per gallon!! The best I had achieved before was 8.4 mpg. Rallys do have value.

I also attended a seminar by Silverleaf on their engine management system. It is an amazing system that gives you access to all the data that the coach's computer puts out. Loaded onto your own laptop, the system connects to the coach's data port and displays an amazing array of very useful information. I am sold and will be getting the system installed ASAP.

We are now in Seattle (Bothell actually), set up in the Lake Pleasant RV Park. It is a very nice park, and is rumored to be the best park in the Seattle area. Over the next week, we will be visiting family and friends and generally relaxing. I will post from time-to time. Until then, Cheers!

August 15 - Day 63 - Ride to the mountains and the rally begins

Sunday turned out to be as nice a day as we have had. The morning was a bit cool, perfect for a ride through the Oregon countryside. I left Harrisburg at 8:00 on 99E and connected with Hwy 228 East to Sweet Home. On the way I passed through Crawfordsville and saw the first of two covered bridges that I would see on the ride. The Crawfordsville bridge, which is no longer operational, was built in 1932 and crosses the Calapooya River.

In Sweet Home I connected to Hwy 20 and headed up into the Cascades. The road was twisty and lots of fun to ride. Passing over Tombstone Pass (4,240 ft.) hwy 20 begins to drop down into Eastern Oregon. Rather than go all the way to Bend, I turned onto Hwy 126 leading back to Springfield and Eugene. The junction of 20 and 126 is characterized by a huge lava field. It is amazing that plants can grow in this stuff, but they do!

As you head West on 126, you pick up the headwaters of the McKenzie River, which the road follows all the way to Eugene. Along the way is Sahalie Falls, a beautiful waterfall in the midst of virgin forest.

The Mckenzie River is famous for its fishing and is a favorite for the river rafters and campers with state parks and campgrounds everywhere. The road is very good and one can travel at a good rate of speed. Along the way, one passes another covered bridge, the Goodpasture bridge, built in 1938 across the McKenzie River and still operational. Once in Eugene, I picked up I5 and headed North to Harrisburg, arriving at 12:30.

Since today was the last day for the Scandinavian Festival in Junction City, Suz and I decided to give it a try for lunch. Good choice. We had a Swedish pasty that was very good followed by and ice cream cone. This is the 50th anniversary for the festival, which is mainly arts, crafts and lots of food.

We returned to the campground, which was filling up fast with rally attendees coming over from the FMCA Rally in Redmond, and registered for the event. The next four days will include seminars, socializing and meals, beginning tonight. Until the next post, Cheers!

August 14 - Days 61 and 62 Relaxing in Harrisburg (and surrounds)

Friday was beautiful, not a cloud in the sky and temperatures in the mid 80s. Who couldn't love the Northwest on a day like this. BUT, one has to remember that days like this happen all too infrequently in this part of the world - believe me I grew up here! Nonetheless, days like this are ones to enjoy! I decided to spend the first half of the day on the bike since Suz had decided it was her day to "iron".

I headed South into Eugene to explore and locate the strategic necessities - Costco, Walmart, Home Depot, Harbor Freight, etc. Found them all and picked up some minor items. Suz and I will head to Walmart and Costco on Saturday for major supply additions. The bike ride was, as always, enjoyable and I found Eugene to be a most pleasant city. It is very clean and green given that it is located at the the confluence of the McKenzie and Willamette Rivers. It is also the home of the University of Oregon (the Ducks and their green and yellow uniforms).

Returning to the coach, I fixed a mal-functioning taillight on the motorcycle lift (bad ground again), and repaired a bay door latch on the coach. The latches on these coaches are notorious for becoming loose and mal-functioning. I have had doors open while driving down the road!

I called Tiffin to determine how one would repair the problem. Jerry, the very helpful service tech told me that the only way to repair the latch was to drill out all the pop rivets holding the aluminum interior door liner in place in order to gain access to the latch. A major design flaw if I ever heard of one!! He told me to call RV Coral in Eugene, a Tiffin dealer, and schedule an appointment to have the work done - on warranty. I called, no appointment available while we are here.

I decided that I would try to fix the problem myself, since the only option would be to "duct tape" the door shut to prevent it opening unexpectedly on our way to Seattle. In this case, I found that a bolt that holds the latch in place had fallen out allowing the latch to fall out of alignment. Of course, the bolt was somewhere down in the bowls of the door, covered by the ubiquitous aluminum inner liner! Looking at the other door latches I figured out that the bolt was likely a 1" number 8 and headed down to Harrisburg to the hardware store for a replacement. Hurd's had the bolt and I bought 5 just in case! In the photo you can just see the threads of the bolt - not the head of course.

With one of the the bolts in hand, I tried to figure out how to insert it without taking off the inner liner. I decided that enlarging the hole in the liner was the only way, which I did with a pair of diagonal cutters - not the best looking job too be sure (as you can see), but, as it turns out, effective (I will get a pair of tin snips at Harbor Freight on Saturday and trim up the area). With the larger hole I was able to put the bolt in place with needle nose pliers and get it started. Then with one finger, I worked it into the housing and did the final tightening with the pliers. Voila!! It worked! Bring on the next gargantuan task!!

Success demanded a trip back to Junction City for Happy Hour! We located a new spot, Bugsy's, a converted movie theater that is now a bar. Lucky for us, we ran into Gary Hansen, a local businessman who owns a Country Coach and was able to fill us in on the comings-and-goings (mostly goings) of the coach business in the Eugene area.

The Beaver coach was built in Bend, Oregon until it went out of business and was bought Monaco, which is built both in Indiana (?) and in Harrisburg, Oregon. Marathon Coach and Country Coach, both top of the line coaches are (were) built in the area as well. Marathon is still being built here, but Country Coach is out of business. Gary told us the gory details from his personal experience as a friend of most of the coach company owners.

Now I told you that story to tell you this story. The hotel and campground we are staying in was built to service coach owners returning to the Monaco, Country Coach and Marathon factories for warranty and other work. When the companies went under, all such service work stopped, and the campground lost most of its business. Now we know why the campground is in such a poor state. In fact, Gary says he expects this to be the lasts summer it is open unless the coach business revives soon.

Returning home, we had a wonderful meal of Kraft Dinner and Wieners - one of Suzanne's specialties.

Saturday arrived with another spectacular cloudless, sunny day. After taking Dixie for her walk, I spied a few blackberry bushes along the campground fence line. With serving bowl in hand, I hit one of the smaller patches and filled the bowl to brimming with wonderful tasting blackberries, which we will have over (non-fat) ice cream for the next several days. I will hit the patch again before we leave.

As usual, the front of the coach was bug covered, so that was my next chore. Then it was into the coach to gather material for my Monday posting to clients. With Suz now ready to go, we headed to Eugene for a day of shopping. First PetSmart, then Costco, then Harbor Freight, then Walmart, then Camping World, then home. It then being 4:00 pm, we headed back to Junction City to "the theater." Hope Gary is there.

Well, Gary wasn't there, but we were able to watch the last part of Saturday's round of the PGA Championship. We can't watch it at the coach because we can't get "local channels" on DirecTV, which means no CBS, NBC, ABC or Fox. Oh well, I'm tired of fighting with DirecTV.

Bugsby's is interesting in that it has murals on the walls that depict the heyday of the movie era. Suz and I had Happy Hour then returned to the coach. On the way, at 5:30 pm, the temperature was 103 degrees, rather hot for Oregon! It will drop to the mid 90s tomorrow.

At the campground, the Freightliner Chassis Owners Club members are starting to arrive and we don't feel so "all alone." By tomorrow, the campground will be full and the rally will start on Monday. Until then, Cheers!

John, Suz and Dixie the Wonderdog.

August 12 - Day 60 - Pendleton to Harrisburg

We left Pendleton at 8:00 am and headed West on I84 toward Portland. The weather was perfect, not a cloud in the sky, and no humidity!

The highway follows the Columbia River all the way to Portland (200 miles). The Columbia River Gorge is a natural wonder. The river is huge, but apart from that, the winds funnel through the gorge almost continuously. As a result, it has become a major site for wind mills - literally by the thousands! As we approached the coast, Mt. Hood, where I skied in my early years, came into view - an impressive site for sure.

The route is not only scenic, but it was the final leg of Lewis & Clark's treck to the Pacific. We have now followed the Lewis & Clark trail from Missoula to the Pacific, it must have been quite a treck for them!

I84 terminates at I5 in Portland, but we took I205 and cut off the final few miles as we headed South. I205 merges into I5 and South we went to Harrisburg, just outside of Eugene. We arrived at the River Bend Resort at 2:30 pm and got set up. I am not impressed with the site of the Freightliner Chassis Owners Club rally. It has an hotel and conference center situated on the Willamette River , but the RV sites are unkempt, the grass is virtually dead and there are no trees. Nor are there any picnic tables, or anyplace to put them.

I am sure that the rally will be a success when the Freightliner people and the 80 odd coaches arrive on Saturday - we will see. It will also help if the weather holds!!

This evening, we headed 5 miles down Hwy 99E to Junction City (there is NOTHING in Harrisburg to speak of) and found the Rodeo Steakhouse, where we had a drink and dinner. It also happens that this weekend is Junction City's annual Skandinavian Festival, so there is lots of activity. The Rodeo Steakhouse was nice, as were to people. We have found that people across the country are friendly, helpful and willing to welcome you with open arms if your attitude is right. As I have said, it is a great country!

Tomorrow we will explore the area and see what Eugene has to offer. Until then, Cheers!

August 11 - Days 58 and 59 - Missoula to Pendleton

We left Missoula, and Jim & Mary's RV Park, at 8:00 and headed west on highway 12 towards Lewiston, Idaho. The road is absolutely scenic, and is the route traveled by Lewis & Clark on there epic treck to the Pacific. Once over the summit, the highway follows the Clearwater River to Lewiston, where it joins the Snake River as it flows West, joining the Columbia River before pouring into the Pacific.

Every inch of the way is scenic, the only difficulty is the twisty nature of the highway. We stopped in Lowell, Idaho (pop. 23) for a wonderful raspberry danish and BLT sandwich (and a T-shirt of course). Just down the road, we stopped for some photos of the river and to pick some of the plentiful blackberries that grow alongside the road. If I were on the motorcycle (as I was three years ago going in the other direction) the twisty nature of the road would be fine, but in a motorhome, the road is a workshop in driving. Nonetheless, I enjoyed very minute of the drive!

We arrived in Lewiston around 12:30 and continued to follow highway 12 West. From Lewiston, the road passes thorough the wheat belt of Washington and into Oregon. It is not the most secenic route, but is the most direct route to Pendleton. We arrived at the Pendleton KOA at 3:30 Pacific time and got settled in. The park is set on a hill South of town with a view to the South of miles of wheat fields and the rolling hills in the distance.

I rained heavily overnight and we decided to "do the chores" this morning. I started by cleaning the bike, then the front of the coach, then the entire bottom of the coach (the top half will have to wait!). Then I reworked the pressure monitoring system for the tires - a chore!! Suz did several loads of wash - the washer and dryer in the coach are WONDERFUL! Then I took the car to the car wash (much needed!) and went to the local hardware store to find tubing to replace one that had broken on the windshield washer line. Overall, we cleaned up a lot of loose ends and are now ready to relax in Harrisburg!

Pendleton is a typical western town. But very special is Hamley's. This store has been in operation in Pendleton since 1905 and is famous for its saddles, hats and western gear. The top line hats are made of beaver and are priced over $700 - for a hat! The saddles are all hand made and are priced accordingly. Needless to say, Hamley's is a store to be seen!

Next door is a new steak house - Hamley's of course. It is excellent. But Pendleton has more to offer. Across the street is the Rainbow Cafe, an historic old bar and restaurant, and down the street is Packard's Tavern - like the Colonial in Mansfield! We started at Packard's and had a ball watching the locals play shuffleboard. We then went to the Rainbow Cafe, and met "Rainbow Debbie", who has tended bar at the Rainbow for 19 years. We very much enjoyed hearing of her experiences. After enjoying "beautiful downtown Pendleton", we returned to the motorhome for "bubba burgers" and a wonderful sunset! It is truly a beautiful country we live in!

Tomorrow we head for Harrisburg for the Freightliner Chassis Owners Club rally. We will also have Dixie groomed in Eugene - she needs it! Until then, Cheers!
