Southbound...finally!

Finally! We are headed south...and not a moment too soon. The weather in Portland has turned gray, gloomy, cold and rainy with predictions for snow down to 3,500 ft. We slept in this morning, dawdled a bit, did a couple last minute errands and finally got on the road at 1:00. By 5:00 we had arrived here, in Sutherlin, OR and are staying in a very cool RV Park. This place started out as a drive-in movie theatre and now is a lovely, well set up RV park. The office, clubhouse, laundry, shower facilities are in a lovely, bright-yellow barn that you can see from the road (along with the movie screen).

Chris was thrilled to find that we have a pull-through spot (even though he does love that macho feeling he gets from backing the trailer around corners and under low hanging tree branches). It is level and has all the amenities one would want. We can't use the cable TV as the trailer doesn't have an "in" connection but Chris has promised that he will be installing that in the near future. Not that we are all that interested in TV but it sure would be nice to see some news and weather once in a while. If we are close to a station our antenna can pick up a signal but it would seem the signal has to be pretty strong. In Portland we could get ONE station and during the dinner hour (when the news programs are on) the signal wasn't strong enough to pick up. I must admit I'm pretty doggone impressed with this new super duper digital TV stuff.

Each of the spaces here has it's very own patio with a table & 2 chairs so that IF it were warm enough, you could sit outside and enjoy the weather...AND the movies that they still show! We missed tonight's feature as we went to visit Amanda's family but if they show one tomorrow we'll be here with our popcorn and wine! Although, we will definitely be watching from INSIDE the trailer.

This "dirt yachting" is as much fun as cruising on the boat is! We plan to take our time getting to San Carlos so expect to see more updates on the blog. Especially if we have super-fast WiFi like this!! Whoo hoo!!!!
