Enjoying life in OR

June 1 we left Preferred RV and had an uneventful trip stopping for fuel in Fallon, NV and then stopping for the night about 25 miles west of Gerlach,NV.

Unfortunately it was very cloudy so I was unable to see any stars but there is still hope on our return trip to AZ. 
Our spot outside Gerlach, NV where there is very little traffic, maybe one vehicle every hour
We arrived at Cascade Meadows on the 2nd around 3:30 PM after fueling up at Gordy’s Truck stop.  On Friday the 3rd we made a trip to Bend for our mail and to DMV for Larry’s driver's license.  A big Praise the Lord that day as I found my missing drivers license that I misplaced on May 15 so I did not have to buy a replacement!  It was really weird as both Larry and I had looked in the car several times and yet, there it was lying in plain sight between the seats!  God is good all the time as it showed up as we were going to DMV to replace it (along with getting Larry’s new one)!

We went from hot NV to cold OR as on the 8th the night time temperature dropped down to 19º. 
Brief hailstorm at Cascade Meadows that left the ground looking like it snowed!
Otherwise the weather has been beautiful.

On the 9th I did an evening  shop at a fancy resort on the Deschutes River.

That day Larry had a denturist appt. to get his dentures re-lined and they are working much better now.  He learned he should be keeping his dentures in at night to help cut down on gum 'shrinkage'.  He has been doing that so hopefully it will help in the future.

On the 16th we moved to Bend-Sunriver TTN and were able to find a site that Larry was able to back both the trailer and the MH into.

Since it is only seven miles from Cascade Meadows I drove the car so we didn’t have to concern ourselves with getting the car in and out of the trailer.  We were there just a week since none of the sites at TTN have sewer.  I didn’t do any laundry the week we were there and when we moved back to Cascade Meadows on the 23rd, I washed up a storm!

On the 25th our friends, David and Margaret, were returning from Junction City for MH repairs and they took a detour and came to see us, parking in the site next to us.  We had a good time and it was great to see them again after two years!  We last saw then in K Falls when we were getting tires for the MH and this time they bought new tires.

Our living room blind with four strings broke and since we already had a restringing kit, Larry spent much of Tuesday re-stringing the blind.  The instructions made no sense so Larry just did what seemed 'right' and got it done.  Definitely NOT his favorite thing!

June 30 we made a trip to Eugene on the bike because my helmet communication system quit on Monday.  The fellow at the BMW dealer was able to fix it by re-booting it and showed Larry what to do if it should happen again.  It was a 240 mile round trip, the longest we have taken but it was a beautiful day for a ride, no clouds and 84º.
