Month: September 2019

Day 138. Sunday 29th September. Chris Flat Campsite to Boulder Creek RV Park. Lone Pine. Calif.

We were expecting rain yesterday, but it didn’t happen.  Snow was forecast for today and we got it during the night. I had to get up to answer the call at 4am and was greeted with a white-out. Here I am standing there with only the wrapping I arrived in,…

Day 137. Saturday, 28th September. From Cottonwood Creek Campsite just North of Truckee to Chris Flats Campsite, just South of Coleville. California.

It was rather a shock last night to be advised by the camp host that the weather forecast for the weekend was for rain followed by snow. Not knowing what we would wake up to, we found the temperature had plummeted, but it was still a fine day. We headed…

Day 136. Friday 27th September. Leisurely Place Campsite, Leisurely, to Cottonwood Creek campsite. Truckee. California.

As yesterday was Jen’s day to write the blog, she wouldn’t let me put these pics in her story. No taste that girl. Anyway, here are some pics of a junk yard we passed and here is some of the treasure waiting to be restored. This morning has dawned rather…

Day 135. Thursday, 26th September. From Annie’s Snow Shelter Car Park to Likely Place RV and Golf Resort

After saying goodbye to our French fellow campers, Annie and Jean Paul, we set off for Klamath Falls. Driving through a very wide flat valley, this morning’s scenery was all agricultural. Pastureland with thousands of grazing beef cattle. Farmers seem to follow more traditional methods here. The cattle are all…

Day 134. Wednesday 25th September. Susan Creek Campground to Crater Lake, Oregon.

Boy, last night was a blur of feverish stupor but this morning I woke, like I imagine a butterfly emerging from it’s chysalis, reborn.  Our campsite was immaculate and complete with showers and flushing toilets. Great value at $20. We were camped in amongst massive trees and to see the…

Day 133. Tuesday, 24th September. From Beverley State Park, North of Newport to Susan Creek Campsite, West of Steamboat

Today dawned damp and grey. A fine drizzle. Probably more of a sea mist rather than actual precipitation. Since we have returned there is a noticeable difference in the season. When we left we had been in sandals and T-shirts, now we are in sweaters and trainers. It isn’t cold,…

Day 132. Monday 23rd September. Banks to Beverly Beach, Oregon Pacific Coast.

It’s right on 4pm and we have our camp established in the Beverly Beach State Park Campsite. The day has been mostly overcast and cool though there have been some sunny spells.  Being in the Landy and on the road again is marvellous. The scenery after leaving Scott and Marsha’s…

Day 131. Saturday, 7th September. Portland

Today was spent packing and tidying up the Land Rover. Kelly and Stacy went to work and left us free run of their house to get ourselves organised for our short trip back to the UK. Thank you Kelly and Stacy for your generous hospitality. Dennis gave the Land Rover…

Day 130. Friday 6th September. Portland Oregon.

What a great day, and night last night. Jen’s 70th birthday celebration meal with Logan & Jamie and news during it, of a successful bid for their first house. It was a warm, pleasant evening. I should mention that flowers for Jen I ordered online yesterday, never arrived and still…

Day 129. Thursday, 5th September. From Horse Thief State Park Campsite, Washington to Portland, Oregon

This morning was a bit different. It was overcast when we surfaced. I also woke up as a septuagenarian. That took a bit of getting used to! A lovely surprise present was to see fellow camper, Mindy, walking across the campsite with a steaming latte, from her Nespresso machine. A…
