Summer 2010 week 1

After leaving sunny Tucson on May 28th, we've been on the road for seven days now. We took the Owens Valley route north on the eastern side of the Sierra Mountain range. That required us to go over the mountains at Ebbetts Pass.



Our little Winnebago pulling a Honda Fit made it over without much trouble. Coming down was more of a challenge to keep the speed under control.



First stop was Stockton where we enjoyed a lovely evening with Linda's sister, Edith, and her daughters Cindy and Virginia, and grandsons James and Michael. We were treated to a wonderful barbecue dinner.



The next day we stopped by to say hello to niece Elizabeth before turning north to Eugene. There we caught up with my brother, Phil, and wife, Sandra. We arrived in time to see Jack, their first grandson, and dad Bob.
It has been 4 years since we saw them - and our first look at Jack. Again we were treated to a barbecue dinner.







The next morning we took Phyllis, Linda's oldest sister, out for breakfast.

Next we turned east over the Willamette Pass to see sister Joan who lives in Camp Sherman near Sisters. We took a hike to the head of Jackson Creek and then went out for dinner. Linda and I had Razor Clams, a favorite Oregon treat. Joan is very happy to be staying in a beautiful home with some caring friends, Kevin and Laurie.



Today, we are in Portland getting new shocks and a sway bar for the RV while we visit brother, Doug and and his wife, Carol, in Vancouver for a couple of days.

This will be our first night outside the RV, while it will be in the shop.
We prefer to stay in the RV in our own beds, because that makes it easy for us to stop by and see family without being too much of a bother.

Below is a link to some photos of all this.

Best viewed as a slide show.
