Yesterday I drove the motorhome 25 miles from Woodburn to Oregon City, Oregon.

 

All of the trip was on U.S. Highway 99.

 

I’ve passed by Oregon City on Interstate Highway 205 going around Portland for many years.

 

Not long ago I finished reading a book about the Oregon Trail and discovered that it ended at Oregon City. Looking at Google earth to identify its exact location, I promised myself to stop and see the city next time I was in the area. That happened yesterday.

 

 

Upon arrival I parked at the Clackamette RV Park directly along the shore of the Willamette River…

 

 

 

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

 

This Google earth image shows my location close in to everything…

 

 

 

 

I had a riverfront site…

 

 

 

 

The view through the windshield…

 

 

 

 

And the usual dinette window photo. The view did not matter because it faces south and I kept my blinds drawn down to block the sun…plus they left shortly after I took the photo…

 

 

 

 

Photos taken around the city…

It’s really neat to visit historical places!

 

I’ll depart here later this morning.

 

 

 

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PHOTOS.

 Yesterday was mostly sunny and 76 degrees. Forecast for today is mostly sunny and 82 degrees.

Enjoying nice weather is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Enjoying 65-75 degree temperatures with low humidity most of the year is a primary joy in the RVing lifestyle!

My current travel rig is a 2006 Fleetwood 26′ Class A Motorhome and a towed 1986 Ford Bronco II, Eddie Bauer Model. This photo was taken in the desert at Slab City near Niland, California…

On October 27, 2012, I created a two-minute video titled America The Beautiful. The music America The Beautiful is by Christopher W. French. The photos, which I randomly selected, are from the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia (not shown in that order)…are mine. Yup, That’s me standing in front of the Post Office in Luckenbach, Texas…Y’all!
