Hunkering down and a crab feed











Hi there everyone,

Well, we are settling in for the biggest storm of the season. The jet stream has moved south from the northern part of Oregon down to central california. As a result, we are expecting rain for the next 7 days straight. The rain started to move through today, but knowing it was on it's way, I decided to batten down the hatches on Saturday. After checking out the roof and repairing some rongs on the ladder on the back of the trailer and putting away un-needed items, I felt we were ready to 'Weather the storm'.

Later in the afternoon, Carol and I attended a crab feed for the Up-country rotary. Though Crab isn't Eric's favorite food, they had plenty of Salad, rolls and Clam Chowder. That meant there was all that much more Crab for Carol!!! It also gave us a chance to help Bill Ealy celebrate his 60th birthday. It was wonderful having some 200 people singing 'Happy Birthday' to the old boy!!!

Eric's been fighting alergies this weekend so he has been laying kind of low on Sunday, but he is re-bounding nicely. Eric is off this next week. We were hoping to go to Quartzsite arizona for an RV Rally, but with the weather being kind of marginal and Carol needing to do some typing practice we have decided to stay home for the week. This will give us a chance to get cought up on a few things around home this next week.
Today (Saturday), we spent most of our time just hanging out in the trailer. We did have quite a bit of rain and wind. The power was out from Fiddletown to Martell for about 3 hours, though we are not quite sure of the cause.

We'll be trying to stay dry and hopefully you will be able to as well.

Happy Camping! - Eric and Carol -
