Home at Emmett 10/3-24/2013
We left Long Beach and spent the night at John Day Dam in Rufus OR. This is such a nice place to stay and break up the 500+ miles to get home. We stopped on our way in LaGrande OR to take Ryan out for a birthday breakfast and then went on home to Emmett.
Since Shay was living at our house (in his RV trailer) Terry made plans to go deer hunting with him during the month of October. They hunted quite a bit, but never even got a shot at one. Maybe another year.
Lake Minden RV Park, Nicolaus CA 10/24-11/5/2013
We left Emmett to start our the new traveling season. After spending a night a the Walmart in Winnemucca NV, we got to Lake Minden RV Park, the Thousand Trails Park in Nicolaus CA, about 15 miles from Yuba City where Terry's sister, Barbara & Wayne, and all of their kids and families live. We got to visit with most of them. We also had a chance to go to the Temple in Sacramento while we were there.
One of the nicest things we got to do was visit a cousin on my Mom's side of the family. I hadn't seen Dee for a lot of years. I used to babysit him and his brothers and sisters when we all lived in southern California. We got to meet some of his family for the first time.
We also had a chance to go visit my Uncle Ron (my mom's brother) and his wife Joan. They fed us a nice dinner and their daughter Neila came to dinner also. We had a really fun visit. It was the first time we have been to their home.
Preferred RV Park, Pahrump NV 11/6-12/2013; Wilderness Lakes RV Park, Menifee CA 11/12-22/2013; Palm Spring RV Park, Palm Desert CA 11/22-12/6/2013
When we left Lake Minden, we spent the next night at Walmart in Falon NV. Thank goodness for Walmarts. Of course, we always have to shop in their stores when we park there.
We take our little flower garden wherever we go. All I have to do is dust their solar panels once in a while and they continue to wave at everyone they see! They stay put very well, whether we are traveling or sitting in a park.
Yes, that is snow you could see along the roads in the last couple of pictures. This is why we live this lifestyle--to get away from the snow. But, it is kind of nice to see some once in a while, as long as we don't have to live in it.
Well, the next three parks we stayed at, Preferred, Wilderness Lakes, and Palm Springs are parks that we have stayed at several times, and because I was on a picture strike and have no pictures, I am just noting that we stayed there this year. One of the biggest highlights at Palm Springs was having Terry's uncle, John, (who is the same age as Terry) come eat Thanksgiving dinner with us in our little Journey. Then later that day, we went to his beautiful new home on a golf course in Palm Springs and sat in his hot tub.
