Sight seeing and rain!

As the folks here at Timber Valley say
"welcome to Oregon,hope ya brought your umbrella."It is raining again this morning.The last two days have been sunny which we have taken advantage of with some sight seeing and leisurely walks around the park, but when we woke up this morning it was raining nicely! Well,at least I will get to see if my fix on the leaky passenger window worked.
We have sure enjoyed it here at Timber Valley. As always with any Escapee park, the members treat you like family.And here was no exception. There is a special bond with the RVing community that is like no other. a kinship that spans the U.S.No matter where you are traveling, an escapee park is like a safe haven for the RVer. Where friendship and camaraderie is always present.
Jeni and I did a little local sight seeing Saturday. We went to Copper Creek lake which is just east of town for a little picnic.It is a beautiful little county park surrounded by the forest. We took out our lawn chairs,found a spot along the bank, and watched the fisherman as we dined on Subway sandwiches. The warmth from the sun felt good and I was tempted to
take a nap but I just sat there enjoying the views.Jeni and I turned to each other and said "It don't get any better than this!"
We also checked out the "Rochester covered bridge" which spans the Calapooya river. The bridge is a couple of miles west of town on hwy. 138.
Friday night we went to dinner at the local Italian resturant.It was a bit pricey but the food was delicious. our favorite place though is "Diary Queen!" Were hooked on "Dilly Bars." Jeni likes the regular ones, I like the "Heath coated ones but with no stick. Yes,because of my phobia of eating ice cream on a stick, Jeni has to pull the stick out of the dilly bar before she serves it to me. I'm a weird little man!!! Today is Memorial day. It is a day we honor our brave men and women that have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Show your patriotism,thank a vet,put out your flag,reflect upon the freedom you have because them.
Tomorrow we will leave Timber Valley for Cape Blanco State Park. We are very excited about volunteering for Oregon State Parks and Jeni is real happy because she will be by the ocean. Yes,whether were sight seeing, driving to new places,volunteering,meeting new people,or just puttering,"it don't get any better than this!"
