A speed trip to Oregon









About the only time we travel in excess of 40 miles any more, and don't take the Motor home is when we go to visit Eric's Sister Karen and her husband Mike in Ashland Oregon. Much of the time when we see Karen and Mike is when they are on the road or making the trip to central California. So, we thought it was probably our turn to head up to visit them.


We always enjoy the drive up to Ashland, there are so many beautiful areas between Sacramento and Ashland. Castle Crags and Mt Shasta just to name a couple. Being it is still summer, we got to enjoy both on the way up on Friday evening and back on Sunday. On Friday night, we got to enjoy a really beautiful sunset as we drove up Interstate 5.


While we were up there, we went to a dog park on Saturday morning and then we took Rosie and Lilly to get a bath at a local fund raiser for the local animal shelter. The visit to the Dog wash was very successful. Eric was a little concerned that Rosie might not do well being handled by strangers, but after a couple minutes, she did started to relax and did really well. Rosie played almost non-stop this weekend with her cousin Guiniess and she slept well the following two days. We also got to meet Adelaide, a 12 year old English Springer spaniel who is living with Karen and Mike now while her owners work in the city by the same name in Austrailia.


Saturday night we got to enjoy dinner with Mikes brother Chuck and his wife Terry. After dinner we got to see the video of Mike and Karen's southern Safari trip. http://www.oursouthernsafari.blogspot.com On our way home, we stopped by to check out the Blue Herin RV Park which is at exit 789 near Yreka California. While we were there, Carol made friends with a Filly at the RV park.


Though it was a quick trip to Ashland, we always have a wonderful time up there.


Happy camping!

So pretty after our bath! And I love the filly pic. Sounds like a great week-end.
