BACK IN THE WOODS

Today we said goodbye to our friends Monet, Zeba, Roger and Maryn and left Salem to head for the coast. Those guys are lucky, they are headed north to Idaho and Canada, while we have started back downhill and south to go back to California. We still have over a week of fun left, but I hate it when the coach makes that inevitable turn south.

Let's concentrate on the positive---we are here at Honeyman State Park tonight, in the town of Florence, Oregon.  It is so very beautiful here! We are only staying here two nights, but I wish we could stay here longer. There are lots of pine trees, chipmunks, and blue jays. Much better than staying in the city of Salem as we had to do in order to see the total eclipse. Here are the views as we  look up and down our loop.


It  was very smoky as we drove today through Eugene, but as we turned toward the coast the sun came out. When we checked into the park they told us that the burn restrictions were lifted here and that we can have a wood fire at our campsite.  Kathe and Jim are so spoiled, all they do is flip a switch and turn on the fireplace.

Maybe tomorrow I'll talk them into a nice campfire and some some-mores!
