We're on the road again!

After getting our housesitters settled in, it was time to hit the road again in our RV just over a week ago. We met up with nine other RVs in Canyonville, Oregon at the 7 Feathers Casino & RV Resort the first night of our motorcade club chapter's fall rolling rally. The next morning, we departed for two nights in Grants Pass where we headed straight for a 4-hour, 36-mile Hellgate Jetboat excursion that is a must if you have never done it! They take you down river where The River Wild, starring Kevin Bacon and Meryl Streep, was filmed on the Rogue River. We had just watched the movie a few days earlier so it was fun to try and figure out where they had been. We disembarked and hiked up the hill to the OK Corral where they stuffed us with great food, beer and wine before heading back upriver. The temps were cooling down but we didn't mind the huge sprays of water as our wonderful boat pilot did 360s and bow dunks along the way. They really make it a lot of fun ~ do it if you ever have the chance and be prepared to get wet!

We also toured Harry & David's in Medford where they produce the gourmet food items we've all seen in the catalogs we find in our mailboxes around Christmas. We were very impressed with their operation and left with a big bag of goodies from their store. So much for our diets...

The next two nights were spent mostly relaxing at Emigrant Lake. While some drove into Ashland for the Shakespeare Festival, Kris & I unloaded our Segways and went looking for trails. We decided to ride around the lakeshore, but we didn't get very far before it was obvious it wasn't the best idea we've ever had. The water level was down and the sludge was slippery.  Fortunately, we stayed vertical long enough to back up but we had a big mess to clean up on our tires!

We decided to fly our American Flag on September 11 to commemorate all who were affected nine years ago on that day.

Next we relocated to the sleepy little town of Prospect for the final two nights of our rally where we all dined at the Historic Prospect Hotel while getting a history lesson by the owner. The last full day was spent at Crater Lake National Park. It was the first time Kris or I had been there and it was absolutely breathtaking. Never have I seen such gorgeous blue water except in tropical locations! That  evening the weather was perfect for our campfire potluck, a perfect ending to a very enjoyable week!
