In just a short ten days we will be packing up and moving over to Devil’s Lake State Park.  We have enjoyed our time here at Smith Rock but it’s time for a new adventure.

On the 18th and 19th, we visited Jim and Jeanie Glaspey, Donna and Dwayne Hayes and Ron and Tisha Glaspey at LaPine State Park.  Fun times as always with the Glaspey Clan.

On the 19th we welcomed Chuck and Sue Svendsen from Oakridge for a visit.  Monday morning we drove up to Three Creeks Lake, which is a few miles south of Sisters.  After relaxing there for a while, we then drove down to Sisters for a before dinner appetizer at the BJ’s Ice Cream parlor.  Dinner was at the Sandbagger Saloon at Crooked River Ranch.
Say Howdy Chuck!
A gift from Sue.  These were her fathers and I am honored to have them.
 
One of the resident's at Smith Rock!
Well Hello Ladies!
Mama and her twins.

On Tuesday we went to Bend to do some shopping at the Bend Factory Stores and at REI.  Then we had dinner with our co-hosts at the Oishi Japanese Restaurant in Redmond.

On Thursday we had Tom Halter of Advantage RV Service out to do the recall on our Norcold refrigerator and service our generator.  If you need service on your RV here in the the Bend/Redmond area, we highly recommend Tom.

Yesterday we made the run over to Devil’s Lake State Park in Lincoln City where we will be hosting for this month.  It is really nice to be in cooler weather!

We have had some inquiry’s about our itinerary for the run to Florida in September.  Well, as you can guess, we’ll be doing a lot of sight-seeing during the two month trip.  If any of our readers live or your traveling in the same areas we are, please give us a shout.  Perhaps we could get together.

On this I will be checking off some bucket list items including, three Presidential libraries and several Civil War battlefield areas.

Rathdrum, ID:  Visit Rick and Patty Stills.
Grand Teton National Park:  Rick and Patty will be going with us.
Casper, WY: Visit Joyce’s sister.
Scotts Bluff, NE:  I have always wanted to see Chimney Rock National Historic Site and Scotts Bluff National Monument.
Abilene, KS:  President Dwight Eisenhower’s Library.
Independence, MO:  President Harry Truman’s Library.
Booneville, MO:  Going to visit the Warm Springs Ranch where the Budweiser Clydesdales are born and raised.
Scott AFB, IL:  Close enough to St. Louis to see several sights there.
Union City, TN:  I was born close to there in Martin, TN.  I want to do some genealogy research in Gibson and Weakley Counties.
Corinth, MS:  See the Shiloh National Battlefield.
Nashville, TN:  Been there, done that before but we have good friends who we are going to see this time.
Lynchburg, TN:  Care to guess why we are going there?  Does Old No. 7 ring a bell?
Chattanooga, TN:  Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park.  Also, several other places.
Atlanta, GA:  Atlanta Cyclorama and Civil War Museum, President Jimmy Carter’s Library and more.
Americus, GA:  Andersonville National Historic Site and the National POW Museum.  May go over to Plains and see if President Carter and Rosalynn are home.  Peanuts anyone?
Savannah, GA:  We have been there once but didn’t get to do much sight-seeing due to very bad weather.  We’re hoping for sunny sky’s this time.
St. Augustine, FL:  Spend most of the winter here spoiling grand babies.

‘Nuff for now.
