Red Bluff weekend

We were very lucky to be able to hook up with Karen and Mike at Durango RV resort in Red Bluff is about 3 and a half hours north of Sacramento, and about the same distance south of Ashland Oregon. As such, it makes for a perfect meeting spot for our two families. Durango is a wonderful facility with large Buddy sites where we can park across from one another and share a nice large lawn area! On Friday afternoon we didn't do much, but sit around Camp and do some catching up.

Saturday, I helped Mike install the Quik Fill battery filling systems on their motorhome. This is a slick little system that allows you to easily fill all the cells of the batteries with the pump of a bulb and a bottle of distilled water. After that quick install, Mike helped me to fix a couple of chewed up sections of vinyl that Rosie had gotten to when she was new to our household. That repair project took significantly longer than the installation of the battery filler. :-(

Also on this trip, we made it to Turtle Bay near the sun-dial bridge where we got to check out not only their Chocolate exhibit, but also their Butterfly one as well. After going to Turtle Bay, we went into Redding and found a restaurant called View 202. This is a restaurant that looks pretty fancy, but they serve those casually dressed without batting an eye lash! The food was great and the view off the patio was fantastic. We will definitely come back to this restaurant again! Maybe next time for dinner so that we can enjoy the evening sunset!

Karen and Mike brought their newest addition to their family Corona. Corona is from the Jackson County animal shelter. He is five years old, and still trying to figure out the pecking order, but he is coming along quite well. Addie, the English Springer Spaniel that Karen and Mike adopted from a friend of theirs that was moving to Australia, is doing great after the surgery a couple months ago to remove the tumor off of her. So, Karen and Mike are a three dog family just like we are.

Well, that is it for this latest trip. We probably won't hit the road again until July, because the rest of June is looking so busy, but stay tuned, we've got lots of other things coming up where we will probably update the blog.

Happy camping! Eric and Carol
