After the ceremonies for the C-141 anniversary at Travis, we hooked up our CRV and headed north to Redding, CA. After getting set up in the Win-River Casino parking lot (I hesitate to call it a campground or RV park) we had a nice dinner in their dinning room.
The next day we met up with Art and Kandi Jones at the Elks Lodge. They were there to participate in Kool April Nights, a huge event that happens in Redding every year.
That evening we met Art and Kandi in downtown Redding for supper at Applebee’s and then went cruising in their rag-top 1967 GTO. We had a ball checking out all of the cars and trucks that participated in the cruise.
Here are a few pictures:
There were several "survivor cars" in the cruise.
On Saturday morning we hookup up and made the drive up to Jim & Jeanne Glaspey’s RV Park in Oakridge, OR. The plan is to hang out hear until Friday and then head over to Tumalo State Park in Bend, OR to begin out hosting gig.
After getting settled in, we went to had supper with Jim and Jeanne and his brother and sister-in-law Ron and Tisha, who live down the road in Dexter. We were also joined by several friends from Oakridge so the conversation was very lively as you can imagine.
We had a wonderful dinner at the home of Chuck and Susan Svendsen at their beautiful home near where Joyce and I used to lived on High Prairie Road.
Yesterday I took our home to W & J Towing here in Oakridge to have the oil changed. They did an excellent job and we were pleasantly surprised to have a bill of less that $640 for everything.
While that was being done and Joyce and Jeanne went to Eugene for doctor appointments, Jim, Ron and I played a round of golf at the Circle Bar Golf Club. Although our golf games weren’t all that sterling, we had a great time whacking the balls around the course.

The other day, while cleaning under our bed, I slipped and hit my right ribs on the edge of the frame. Didn’t seem like a big deal but after that round of golf on Wednesday, my right side was hurting pretty bad. So yesterday, while Jim, Ron and Joyce played a round, Jeanne drove me into Eugene to an urgent care clinic to have it looked at.
The PA I saw did a very thorough examination and told me that, yes it is bruised but didn’t believe there was a fracture. He told me to take it easy and take Ibuprofen. I’m feeling much better today.

We’re now at Pilot Butte State Scenic Viewpoint in Bend, OR. We were scheduled to be the camp hosts at Tumalo State Park however, due to on-going construction at Tumalo, we were asked to host at Pilot Butte.
Home for May.
Our duties here are opening the gate to the Summit Road, cleaning the bathrooms at the bottom and the top, litter picking and providing a general presence in the park. If you are in the area, stop by and say Hey.
Until next time.
Barry & Joyce
