Home Again

Home Again

We left Lake Havasu State Park and Arizona on Monday, April 13. We crossed into California

and we were happy to see fields of wildflowers along the interstate. We spent the night in Barstow , California at a KOA. We had to stay in private campgrounds in California and Oregon because the state parks are closed in both states. We had originally planned to meander home along the California coast staying at state parks along the way, but that was not to be this trip. Even the private campgrounds were pretty empty and we think most of the campers were long term renters. 

The next morning we left Barstow and traveled west and then north to Jellystone Park in the Sacramento River Delta area near Lodi, California.

Luckily, the trip passed quickly with the help of 2 audio ebooks and occasional stops at Costcos to get gas. We never went in a store because the lines were always too long.

The next day, Wednesday, we enjoyed watching Mt Shasta

come into view and seeing the ever increasing green of the scenery and tall pine tree of the Pacific Northwest again. We crossed into Oregon

and spent the night at a KOA north of Medford in Gold Hill, Oregon.

We arrived home on Thursday, April 16 at 3pm.

It was a great trip, but with the advent of the corona virus had a rather strange ending. We have been busy with yard and garden work since we arrived home.  Mark painted the living/dining room ceilings and walls and Laurie has been busy cleaning out closets and cupboards.  We try to get exercise by walking on the nearby bike path and parks. Everyone is very conscious of social distancing. Hopefully, we will be able to get out in the camper and enjoy some of Oregon’s beautiful areas before too long. 

Stay healthy everyone.
